Loui Fowler Malet Lambert School winner Badgers Sett Enterprise Challenge 2012

“I was really pleased to win the Badgers Sett Enterprise Challenge 2012 with my idea of a retractable sports banner, it has encouraged me to take my idea further and I now have had my sports banners designed and manufactured in China. I have since held meetings with Hull FC who agreed to purchase some of the banners for sale in the official club shop and I have sold a number of them at matches. I am in the process of marketing the concept to other professional clubs as well as looking at developing one for school pupils, there is no doubt without the support of Ruth I would not have got as far as I have with my business idea”

Ruth Badger

“I am very passionate about enterprise and ensuring young people have the opportunity to engage in it! Out of all Cities and towns in the UK that I work with, I believe that Hull are the best at engaging real entrepreneurs & successful businesses in partnering up with future young entrepreneurs and that is why I set up this competition in your area with the Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership four years ago.”

"I want to encourage young people in Hull and the East Riding , an area that I have adopted for its commitment to its enterprising young people, who possibly are not at the stage where they feel can develop their idea on their own or need some extra confidence with financial resource and mentoring”
