Class wins special merit as mobile product charges ahead

AN entire class from a Cork school who designed a holder for charging mobile phones were among the winners of the national final of the Student Enterprise Awards.

The transition-year students from Davis College, Mallow, who have designed a type of plastic shelf for the mobile to sit on while charging, received a special merit award in the senior category.

Managing director of the mini-company, On Hold, Radek Zuk, said mothers in particular found the holder, that keeps the flex tucked away, was effective at keeping the mobile out of reach of younger children.
