DecorActive formed part of the 2006-2007 HSBC Young Enterprise programme in Malta. It consisted of a group of 13 Junior College Students all in their adolescent years.

The company which was founded by these youngsters firstly started off with a Key and Letter holder however, it didn’t sell for them. With the bit of knowledge they had just learnt at their first weeks at college they performed market research once again and it was then when this company opted for the 'Mobile Accessories' to be their primary product. Namely ‘Mobile charms’ and ‘Mobile Socks’. They also were re-sellers of Mother of Pearl earrings and bracelets ranging from a large variety mostly for the younger generation like themselves.

DecorActive opted to add a Motto to their company name. This took the form as "DECISIVE & AMBITIOUS". The company said that they had chosen that motto because they believed that those attributes were needed to keep their business going. A representative of DecorActive said that ‘A company that is decisive and ambitious in everything they do whether it be internally or externally should always be encouraged to move on and progress even in hard times’

The company liquidized on 17th May during their company Annual General Meeting which taught them the basis of organizing such events. The company is now taking part in National Final Presentation where they are hoping for the best.

Stands

Through the course of their company life, DecorActive put up stands around Malta and even set-up stands in foreign countries. The company set these stands up so as to integrate within the Maltese society further and serve as an inspiration to youngsters who maybe had second thoughts to take on such challenges.
The company set-up stands namely at:

Junior College – The school campus which the members attended for two years.

Sports Marathon, Junior College – in which the company took part in an overnight activity for a charitable organisation.

Bergamo, Italy – a display stand was set-up

Plaza, Sliema

Baystreet

City Gate, Valletta – here the company took part in a two day fair held by the Maltese Young Enterprise office

Kraków, Poland – a display stand was set-up here too

Charity

The company worked hard throughout their one year operation. They offered a sum of their profits to a charitable organisation and to add to their feat the young company also set-up a stand in which a large amount of profit went to ‘Id-Dar Tal-Providenza’ which is one of the few charitable organisations still existing here in Malta.

When asked to comment, one of the team members said ‘The team is aware of such poverty around the world and that is why we felt the urge to work closely with 'Dar tal-Providenza' and other charitable organisations’

Clearly, the team wanted to help the Maltese society and this was one of the many ways in which this company did help and didn’t just plan and say things and ended up doing nothing. This made them different. However, it wasn’t plain sailing. The company overcame some tough situations to be able to help the society.

National Exposure

The company were also present on the popular maltese show Xarabank on 11th May 2007 and Pjazza tar-Raħal on 13th May respectively.<ref> DecorActive on YouTube</ref>

==Gone Green

Following 10th May environmental disaster where 3000 trees were vandalised in the area under the Red Tower (Mellieħa) known as 'Foresta 2000' in Malta

All members at DecorActive took it seriously and began thinking of possible ways and methods to contribute. This would leave an impact on the environment in the future and we are the future! With the decline in natural sites due to illegal rubbish dumps, buildings and pollution, DecorActive felt the urge to contribute.

The company wanted to act fast and with impact like the many other Maltese who decided to do the same. DecorActive representatives immediately got into contact with the ‘34u’ campaign organisation where they ordered a tree to be planted in the name of our company. In fact, on the 12th May, members from the company went to Kennedy Grove – Salina, where they planted a tree together with many other children, parents, local council members and Ministers. They all went there with one main scope- to help the environment, act against vandalism on nature and to better our future.

The contribute might seem small compared to those who donated large sums of money, yet one must keep in mind that The company is formed by just thirteen Junior College students and of course the funds are limited.

DecorActive thus can be seen as an inspiration to all those students who want to protect environment.
