Pupils from the River Beach Primary School brokered their first business deal with Harbour Parks’ operations manager, Wes Smart.

Youngsters Archie Bridgeman, Joeb Tester and Jack Roberts, put many of Lord Sugar’s would-be apprentices to shame after they managed to successfully sell 12 limited-edition canvas paintings, created by pupils at the school.

The paintings all depict river or beach scenes, mainly of Littlehampton and Arundel.

Mr Smart said he was tremendously impressed with the young entrepreneurs’ efforts and that they pushed a hard bargain.

He said: “I am especially pleased with the deal.

“We wanted something for the new ice cream parlour that uniquely reflects Littlehampton and as soon as I saw these pictures, I knew we had found it.”

The canvases are now on display at the new ice cream parlour owned by Harbour Park.
