It's going to be a busy day.

I'm hosting the second annual Bannatyne's Bright Sparks event in Darlington this evening.

This is a kind of junior Dragons Den, in which local schools have to come up with entrepreneurial proposals and present them to business luminaries, including Duncan Bannatyne and Alan Noble, from Northgate Holdings.

Last year's event was a great success and I'm really looking forward to what the young people of Darlington come up with at the Dolphin Centre tonight.
