This groups is not the same as:

"Business4Life (B4L) is a scheme that gives young professionals the opportunity to develop their management skills and raise money for charity.

"The initiative, run by Wessex Water, challenges a small team of individuals from various backgrounds to manage a business.

"This year's team has been set the target to raise £40,000 for WaterAid.

"Developing new skills is a key incentive to the early stages of B4L. Hands-on training gives an ideal platform for a young group to set up a ‘mini business’ and to gain experience that can benefit their personal development, their employer and of course, WaterAid!

"The B4L 2011/2012 includes staff from Wessex Water and other companies in the region such as Mildren, Halcrow, Trant, Nomenca, ATS, and GPS. " [1]
