A TWO-day business awareness event at Bury's Holy Cross College enjoyed added fizz when a Coca Cola executive addressed the students.

Alex Lund, marketing and sales expert for the soft drinks company, spoke about marketing and distribution.

Students also took part in a competition to design their own vending machine.

Other speakers throughout the two days included representatives from Barclays, IBM and Heather Spencer Designs.

About 155 students involved in business studies benefited from the event.

Holy Cross College's head of business studies Mr Ian Walton said: "The two-day programme was the second one we have done and it was extremely successful. The feedback from the students has been very good."
