Stephen Logan, Assistant Headteacher Malet Lambert School, Hull’s Most Enterprising Teacher 2012



"It was a great honour last year to be announced as the recipient of the title of Hull’s Most Enterprising Teacher 2012 and that Malet Lambert was named as the City’s most enterprising secondary school. I am pleased that this year over 40 individuals and organisations have received nominations and I look forward to seeing the shortlist in September and the well deserved winners in Global Entrepreneurship Week so they can get recognition for the enterprising work they do in the City and continue to act as ambassadors for the City.



Claire Young Patron Youth Enterprise Partnership

There is no doubt that Hull as a city has real commitment through the Youth Enterprise Partnership to develop the enterprising skills of young people, it never ceases to amaze me how with the right support and encouragement young people are truly enterprising and whilst not all will go on to be entrepreneurs of the future they certainly will be more enterprising in their outlook and in the workplace, I know it will be a difficult choice but all nominations are winners and true ambassadors of Hull and Humberside.
