James
Van Der Klip
Wins Young Enterprise
Scheme Awards
By Phillip Quay
As a year 13 student at Hillcrest High School in Hamilton, James Van Der Klip has a
passion for business that has seen him recognised on a national level.
James was recently awarded the Waikato Regional award for Excellence in Sales
and Marketing as well as the Ministry of Youth Development Award for Business
Commitment, for his business Quartz Web Services.
“Ever since I was a kid I wanted to create cool stuff and start a business,” says James.
“I never really had an influence in this field but was able to start making things
happen in high school,” James continues.
“Business has always made sense to me, so I have always been passionate about
starting one. I had an enterprise teacher at high school that discussed the Young
Enterprises Scheme with me and although it wasn’t offered at my school I was able to
do it extramurally,” adds James.
James had a list of unique business possibilities he could have established, and after
assessing the potential of each one decided to go with Quartz Web Services. “Web
design was a hobby of mine, I had about four years experience with it but never
considered it as something I could use for business,” says James.
Quartz Web Design was initially created to help other student-led companies in the
Young Enterprise Scheme to get a professional website for a fraction of the cost, but
after that proved unsustainable expanded to serve small businesses as well.
James was only 16 when he made these fantastic achievements and has his sights set
on his opportunities for the future. His next goal is set in Denmark where he will be
doing a ten-month exchange. He is currently fundraising for this selling Entertainment
Books from his website http://jamesvanderklip.nz/entertainment-book/.
James has a great amount of support behind him and as very thankful for all the
support he has had so far, “I really couldn’t have done this without everyone who
supported me and gave me all the advice that helped me do so well,” says James.
