Every day entrepreneurs shape our business and personal lives in the UK; driving innovation, creating purpose and disrupting markets. The Fresh Business Thinking Power 100 represents those people who most impact on the lives of entrepreneurs; those who shape policy, create working environments, champion, mentor and promote entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship in UK plc.
Hull's Youth Enterprise Manager, Charles Cracknell, is listed at No 64 out of the top 100 influencers, movers and shakers in the world of entrepreneurship. It is a list of the most with power to impact on entrepreneurship. The list was drawn up by the Fresh Business Thinking editorial team and their trusted advisors from their conversations with their readers at events and through social media.
The ranking is based on multiple components; power and policy, promotion of the entrepreneurial cause, championing and mentoring, social influence and day to day engagement with the entrepreneurial community. For the most part they have not included more than one individual from any organisation, so the individual chosen probably best represents a blend of power, influence, promotion and engagement.
Ross Bennett Chair Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership said:-
"It is fitting that Charles should be listed in the Fresh Business Thinking Power Top 100 as he certainly has had an affect on local, national and international stage relating to youth entrepreneurship.
In the last 10 years he has established Youth Enterprise Bank, the Youth Enterprise Partnership, as well as establishing the young entrepreneurs and enterprising teacher's networks - he is also the driving force behind Global Entrepreneurship Week as well as championing the Duke of York's iDEA Award and establishing enterprise links in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mauritius."
Ruth Badger Patron of Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership said:-
"Charles commitment to supporting enterprising young people is infectious and he is relentless in his desire to support them, I often say that if each area in the UK had a Charles to galvanise a group to support young people with their enterprising ideas we would be a lot better off as a Country"
Charles has established a great team that the City should be proud of as they champion the city at regional, national and local level; he fully deserves to be listed in the Top 100 influencers alongside the likes of Lord Young Government Enterprise Adviser, Mathew Taylor Chief Executive RSA and Lord Digby Jones former Chief Executive CBI"
Charles Cracknell Youth Enterprise Manager Hull City Council said:-
"I was shocked and very honoured at the same time to be listed in this list of 100 national influencers in the enterprise agenda and it ranks with receiving the Queens Award for Enterprise Promotion in 2009 and my recent involvement with the iDEA Award."
"My work is made a lot easier because of the many enterprising young people and teachers in the City that I work with, along with the great members of Hull business community who are willing to step up and support our enterprising young people to achieve their dreams"
