Councillor Steven Bayes Economic Regeneration & Employment said
“ This is the eighth year that Hull has celebrated how enterprising its young people are”
“Enterprise is a vital contributor to the health of Hull’s economy and to diversity of opportunity within our society. That is why the Council supports the Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership’s ambition to make our area the best place in the world for young people to start and grow a business. As part of this ambition, how Global Entrepreneurship week is seeking to achieve a change in the perception of enterprise and entrepreneurship amongst its young people, ensuring that they have the information they need is an important tool in realising that change. I hope that more businesses however large or small will get involved.”
“I am an ardent supporter of Global Entrepreneurship Week and what Hull is doing to support its young entreprenurs and develop an entrepreneurial can do culture in the City. My hope is that today's young people go on to aspire to set up their own businesses, start social enterprises to improve their communities and be innovative employees themselves. Your area is doing a great deal to support their enterprising young person which makes me proud to be involved in this Festival of Enterprise and would urge business leaders to help me to achieve this”
