Councillor Daren Hale, Deputy Leader of Hull City Council, said: “I look forward to welcoming the nominations for these awards from across the city as we look to develop Hull’s entrepreneurial culture amongst our young people.
“The council, in partnership with the Hull and East Riding Youth Enterprise Partnership, is committed to supporting our enterprising young people and we are more than aware that the young people of this city are our future. We want them to move forward in life equipped with the right skills to build successful careers.”
Nick Sangwin, MD of the Sangwin Group Chair of Global Entrepreneurship Week Planning Group, said: “As the chair of the Global Entrepreneurship Week Planning Group, I am pleased that this year the awards will go ahead thanks to the support of sponsors, from the John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank, the business community and Hull City Council.
“There is no doubt that Hull as a city has real commitment to developing the enterprising skills of young people. With the right support and encouragement Hull’s young people are truly enterprising, and whilst not all will pursue an entrepreneurial career in the future, the majority of them will most certainly use their skills to help impact their outlook on life and in the workplace.”
