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"

Global Entrepreneurship Week starts in Hull 2014
Hull City Council, in partnership with Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership has organised a series of events, which will take place from 17- 21 November 2014 to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs. Every day in the UK people talk about making a change in their life and consider starting up a business. By connecting individuals to practical support and those who have done it already, Global Entrepreneurship Week 2014 will help turn these exchanges into the businesses of tomorrow. This year Hull will host former BBC Apprentice stars Ruth Badger and Claire Young, Andy Pickles of Jive Bunny and Tidy Boys fame, His Excellency the High Commissioner of Mauritius and Martin Green Chief Executive City of Culture Company as well as young entrepreneurs Katie Norman of Labrascals, DJ Ben Rainey, Amanda Hartley, Phil Benson of Xing Education, Phil Batty of Force 7 and Ross Bennett Engaging Education.
Hull is putting its weight behind Global Entrepreneurship week in order to show how enterprising its young people are. Global Entrepreneurship Week is the world's largest celebration of innovation and enterprise, active in 130 countries across the world and encouraging young people to get connected #GEWconnect
Global Entrepreneurship Week inspires people everywhere through local, national and global activities designed to help them explore their potential as self-starters and innovators throughout November Hull has organised 45 events and activities relating to the week
Although Global Entrepreneurship Week 2014 has a grand sounding name, the reality of the week is that it's all about the small things, and as the small acorn develops into a mighty oak, so it hopes that the ideas and activities put on during the week for many young people in Hull will one day take root and go on to become something much bigger.
Councillor Martin Mancey said:
"The City of Hull is already doing much to assist its enterprising young people through its support of the Youth Enterprise Bank which has the financial backing of KC and many local businesses through its Bondholder scheme, the Badgers Sett Enterprise Challenge, £5 Blossom and the Lee Creamer Youth Enterprise Club, to mention just a few.
We hope this sets an aspirational agenda for today's young people in Hull and the Humber sub-region to set up their own businesses, start social enterprises to improve their communities and be innovative employees themselves."
This year, the week is being hosted in the UK by Youth Business International.
Chief Executive of Youth Business International, Andrew Devenport says:
"There is a great need to provide opportunities today that help entrepreneurs pursue their dreams and build the businesses of tomorrow. Global Entrepreneurship Week 2014 is kick starting the conversations that are needed to make this happen. We are pleased that Hull City Council and its partner Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership gives its full support to this celebration of enterprise that takes place across the world - therefore showing Hull as an international hub for youth enterprise, we are particularly looking forward to hearing about the City’s live link up with entrepreneurs in South Africa"
Claire Young Patron Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership says:
“I'm delighted that Hull's Global Entrepreneurship Week is taking the message of enterprise and entrepreneurialism forward. It's important to recognise and to celebrate the success of pupils and schools and to promote greater involvement across the system"
"On recent visits to a number of schools In Hull, I have seen some excellent initiatives to promote enterprise amongst young people. It's great to see more schools, working with their partners, driving this agenda in Hull.”
Abhimanu Kudasamy High Commissioner of Mauritius and Patron Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership says:
"Global Entrepreneurship Week shows the world that the young people of Hull have got the ideas and aspirations that they need to succeed.
"Every year, these ambitious bright young people remind me why I am proud to support what you are doing in Hull. They are lucky to have such a fabulous team supporting them and helping them to develop their talents and creativity."

Hannah Crookes Vice Chair Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership
"I am pleased to see that the Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership has commissioned young entrepreneurs Engaging Education to raise the profile of Global Entrepreneurship Week in Hull amongst young people and the business community.
Global Entrepreneurship Week embraces big issues like innovating out of the recession, low carbon technologies and sustainable growth. It puts Hull at the heart of global exchange, global trade and builds a culture of global ambition in Hull and the Humber in particular and the UK in general."
