Tuesday 4 November 2025 Business in Action In BTEC Business, we have been learning about how businesses operate and the different functions that make them successful, such as marketing, finance, human resources and customer service. This subject has given me a clear understanding of how organisations are structured and the strategies they use to meet their goals. It has also shown me how business theory connects to real life examples. As I go through case studies and assignments, it has helped me develop analytical and decision-making skills, which are important in understanding how businesses respond to opportunities and challenges.

The day was all about stepping outside of our comfort zones, working together, and trying something different. From rope bridges and climbing nets to long zip lines, the course gave us plenty of challenges to overcome. While some parts were tough, it was great to see everyone supporting each other. Whether it was helping someone through a difficult section or just offering some encouragement from the ground, the teamwork on display was one of the best parts of the day.
