"There has never been a better time to start a business and there is support on offer at every turn from peers and local support providers in Hull. That’s why I was keen to organise with my friends in Hull, Yorkshire’s first Youth Enterprise Summit, Hull is one of the most enterprising places in the UK for young people then Malet Lambert School is an integral part of that achievement”.
“I am delighted to work with Hull City Council and Hull’s young entrepreneurs on this summit and to raise the profile of what young people can achieve, as they are the lifeblood of our future economy and are integral to Hull achieving its aims under your City Plan, I am looking forward to hearing more about the success of the Triple R Banners and the Green Queens.”
“I was looking forward to the event as a new start up, in order that I can find out more about what is available to me as a young entrepreneur, then I was invited to outline to the delegates some information about my business and the support I have received and indeed will continue to need which is can be quite daunting.
After discussing with organisers what they are hoping to achieve from the summit I was pleased to agree to outline my journey so far and to join them in their campaign to raise the profile of youth entrepreneurship”
The event will see delegates coming together from all over Yorkshire as well as from the Department of Business Innovation and Skills to find out what support is available for young entrepreneurs in the area, ranging from start up advice, start up loans and start up grants and their own network of young entrepreneurs and how it is committed to developing the entrepreneurial culture at an early age by showcasing the partnership support for a number of enterprising pupils at Malet Lambert.
The Youth Enterprise Summit will also be holding a question and answer session with the following on the panel Chaired by Ruth Badger, Joanna Hill Head of Enterprise Education & Culture Dept Business Innovation and Skills, John Gilbert Managing Director of eskimosoup &former pupil Malet Lambert, William Oxley Director Youth Enterprise Services, Lord Haskins Chair Humber LEP and young entreprenurs Loui Fowler of Triple R Banners and Ellie Taylor The Green Queens

I'm not surprised to see Hull leading the way with youth enterprise in Yorkshire. Hull's approach to promoting enterprise is truly inspirational and could seriously start turning around the city's fortunes within a generation.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see that Ruth continues to support and inspire Hull's young start-ups and important that BIS gets to see exactly what is being done by all those organisations and individuals who are making Hull such an enterprising place.
Have a great summit next week and a great GEW in November.
