Hull City Council’s Team Awarded Regional Title for Supporting Small Businesses in #GEW20022 The Hull City Council Youth Enterprise Team has just been awarded a prestigious ‘best in the region’ award for its support for the local small business community. The team was among 250 councils in England who entered the inaugural Local Government awards run by Britain’s biggest business representation group, and it emerged triumphant in the Covid Response regional category.
The Youth Enterprise team supported 300 young people under the age of 29, raised critical funds, and recruited 80 volunteer mentors to help early and young start-ups who were part of the #ExcludedUK community. Councillor Mike Ross, Leader of Hull City Council said: “This award is recognition for the tremendous hard work of the team who went the extra mile to help so many young people in industry during the extremely challenging period of the pandemic. Without their efforts many of those young people would have been left with no support at all." Councillor Paul Drake-Davis said "The Covid-19 pandemic was the most challenging time for all of us, including many young people who were trying to start their own entrepreneurial journeys. This award is so richly deserved for the outstanding care and support the team provided.“ Becca Pettman, owner of Gray Rose Boutique said: “My mentor Charles and the rest of the Youth Enterprise team checked in regularly to ensure we were ok. They gave me encouragement and linked me up with other young people in the same situation. They ensured my business was ready to trade when we could open again.“ Paula Gouldthorpe, FSB Development Manager for South and East Yorkshire and the Humber said: “It is really pleasing to see Hull City Council’s Youth Enterprise Team rewarded for their consistent hard work and effort to help young people and their businesses through what has been a very challenging couple of years.
Both the quality and quantity of entries from this region and beyond was incredibly high so Hull City Council should feel very proud to be among the winners. We look forward to continuing to work with them – and seeing more good work from the team that clearly does an incredible job to inspire young people and support those new to starting up”
