Councillor Martin Mancey , said:
"There is no doubt that Hull as a city has
real commitment through Hull City Council and the Youth Enterprise Partnership
to develop the enterprising skills of young people.
“It never ceases to amaze me how with the right
support and encouragement young people are truly enterprising and whilst not
all will go on to be entrepreneurs of the future they certainly will be more
enterprising in their outlook and in the workplace.
"I know it will be a difficult choice but all
nominations are winners and true ambassadors of Hull and Yorkshire."
Ross Bennett, Hull Young Entrepreneur of the Year
2016, said:
"It was a great honour last year to be
announced as Hull's Young Entrepreneur of the Year.
"I have enjoyed my year acting as ambassador
for Hull and its enterprising young people”
"I am pleased that this year over 50
individuals and organisations have received nominations and I look forward to
the announcement of the well deserved winners in the 10th Global
Entrepreneurship Week so they can get recognition for the enterprising work
they do in the city and continue to act as ambassadors for the city.
“I am particularly pleased to see awards named
after leading people who have sadly died this year who had championed young
people – there is no doubt that Maxwell Bird, Gordon Wilson and Kevin McNamara
made a tremendous contribution to supporting young people.
