Day 1 Monday 12th November – Hull Environmental Enterprise Challenge
100 twelve and thirteen year olds from Malet Lambert School in East Hull took part in the Hull Environmental Enterprise Challenge at The Exchange Wilberforce Court. The students were given a secret brief to come up with a business idea and then promote this to a group of judges chaired by former BBC Apprentice star Ruth Badger. Students chosen for the activity were from a variety of abilities but had already demonstrated enterprising skills by showing a positive attitude, punctuality and good attendance in school. As an ice breaker the students had to build a free standing tower out of string, spaghetti and tape and place marshmallow on the top the winning team were given a small prize from John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank.
Working in groups of five, students had to decide on roles including managing director, finance, IT, marketing & PR as they had to take on the role of top-flight marketing consultants to design an App for an iPhone in order to promote Hull and encourage people to be environmentally friendly? At the start of the challenge the students were told about how smart phones and tablets are in society with many people owning some type of handheld device and that it is said there is an app for everything.
From news to weather and business to pleasure, Apps allow people to have instant access to array of information or entertain at a touch of a button. As the students developed their concepts the Judges were looking at the App and concept the students came up with as well looking at how each team used the ‘Big 13’ enterprise skills
Students then had to explain their idea, design a marketing campaign, calculate the cost of both making the product and selling it and finally, identify a target market. Following these deliberations, and most challenging of all, they had to pitch their ideas to a panel of judges from local organisations.
The Judges were:
Dr Elaine McMahon CBE Chief Executive & Principal Hull College Group
Neil Hudgell Managing Director of Neil Hudgell Solicitors
Jenny Longden City Works Training
John Readman Hull City Council
Ruth Badger
John Meehan Owner Meehan Media & Comms

I was also honoured to receive the “Badger” model made by pupils at the School even though it does make me look stern.”
Oliver Wilson Director, Xuro Computers said: “It was great to be involved with such an exciting and well organised event. The young people came up with brilliant ideas and showed how much can be achieved through communication and teamwork. I only wish that every school would get as involved with enterprise as Malet Lambert as a former pupil I know that I have benefited by their approach and am pleased that they are supporting me as an apprentice whilst I am running my own business.”
Day 2 Tuesday 13th November – Hull Ready Celebration
This event saw primary school pupils, teachers, business people, educationalists and local councillors all come together to celebrate the third year of the Hull Ready programme and hear how successful our young people had been in Making £5 Blossom. This programme aims to raise awareness of enterprise in schools in a practical and engaging way, both with teachers and pupils.
Popular presenter Blair Jacobs hosted the fourth anniversary celebration of Hull Ready. Initially, a group of children from four of the schools which had already been involved with the Make £5 Blossom project showcased their skills to the 100 strong audience of opinion formers in the city, telling them in detail what each had done with the £150 loans provided by their local business partners.
A group of children from Victoria Dock Primary, Neasden, St Richards and Paisley Primary Schools outlined to the business, education and political leaders about their enterprising activities. In the true spirit of Entrepreneurship Week the tables were then turned on the adults to do a bit of work and they were set a task by pupils from Longhill Primary School to see how each table could work as a team in building a “paper” raft in order to transport the coal in along a canal in 19th Century this had been developed as part of their places and people project in the school.
Each raft was than floated in a fish tank as the pupils from Longhill added weights to see how secure the raft was and to see how many weights it could carry. The adults clearly demonstrated a number of the Big 13 enterprise skills and the winners overall were
table 4 that was made up of Hannah Crookes from Hull and Humber Chamber of Commerce Anna Millar of KC and Lynda Brown, Suzanne Moulson and Margaret Silcox of the Co-operative their raft managed to survive with 1.5Kg of weights added to it before it sank “Girl Power” .

Comments
“I thoroughly enjoyed the event. It was great to see so many local businesses give their time and money so freely in aid of such an innovative programme of events. The scariest moment was when we had to show how enterprising our table was. I am not sure that we impressed the pupils but we did our best.
Kerry-Ann Burrell
The Pioneer Co-operative Trust Co-ordinator
“The Humber Area of the Co-operative was delighted to support this exciting initiative. The Society and its family of businesses have a long association with enterprise around the world and hopes that Global Entrepreneurship Week in Hull will go onto to inspire young people to become more enterprising, especially as this year is International Year of Co-operation – I fully enjoyed my time in Hull at the primary event.”
Lynda Brown
Member Humber Area Co-operative Committee
“I really enjoyed the Hull Ready event, especially as we are in the middle of Round 8 of the programme with Clifton Primary. It was great to see how each of the schools has really adopted the ideas of enterprise skills and how this concept is growing within their school curriculum leading to the children becoming involved in even more business enterprise activities, I only wish we had such a programme to work with in West Yorkshire.”
Ross Bennett
Tellatale Educational Productions
“All the children who attended and presented on behalf of their schools were excellent and should be proud of their efforts in developing enterprising activities both within their schools and their communities, I am sure their teachers and families are delighted with their achievements, it goes without saying that Hull’s future is safe in their hands.”

Day 3 Wednesday 14th November – Hull Our City and the Mail at the heart of it”
The day was titled ‘Our City – The Mail at the heart of it’. It was facilitated by popular BBC presenter Blair Jacobs and representatives of the Hull Daily Mail. The pupils were treated to a warm welcome from Councillor Danny Brown, the Right Worshipful the Lord Mayor of Kingston upon Hull and Admiral of the Humber in his chains and robes of office.
At the start of the day Jamie Macaskill, Assistant Editor at Mail News and Media set the scene by informing the young people about the role of the local newspaper in the community before a group of students from Hull College played out short scenes written for the day by local playwright Kate Brenan of Act the Facts about how reporters gather news and develop advertising content for the Hull Daily Mail.
During the day pupils attended a press conference relating to a big local news story which was about the building of a statue to Luke Campbell local boxer who won a Gold Medal at the Olympic Games. The pupils got to play the role of journalists by listening and asking questions real life journalists in order to help them write a story for the Hull Daily Mail. Pupils also had to speak to local business owners who would like to advertise in the Hull Daily Mail in particular a florist and smoothie business who were having difficulties in attracting new customers, as part of this the pupils learnt how to question a business for the right information to create an advert.
The pupils than went on to take the news and advertising content they had gathered and had to write a news story or design an advert that would appear in the Hull Daily Mail. After lunch the pupils learnt about how the editorial content gets onto the newspaper page and on the website and how the adverts get onto the newspaper page and on the website. They than went on to learn how we get the newspaper into the shops and delivered to homes, whilst understanding what makes people buy a newspaper.

Comments
“The “Our City and the Mail at the heart of it” day at the University engaged and educated the children. The opportunities and activities that you provided for the children throughout Global Entrepreneurship Week 2012 were fantastic. It is a privilege for our school to be involved with the events organised by The Hull Ready Team.”
Chris Dawson
Gillshill Primary School
As always Broadacre Primary School feel privileged to be asked to be part of GEW, it raises much excitement amongst the children. It always amazes me when the children realise that they use the 13 enterprise skills everyday in their school work and how just one week can build up so much self esteem. Looking forward to GEW 2013 so book us in NOW!!!

Day 4 Thursday 15th November - Post 16 Enterprise Masterclass
Around 200 sixteen to eighteen year olds and their tutors from a range of post 16 educational programmes in Hull attended this inspirational day at Staff House at the University of Hull.
As young people approach any transition point within their education it is vital that they are equipped with relevant information so they can make informed choices. For transition to post 16 and post 19 they need to be able to talk about their hopes and ambitions and to hear positive views from those around them. Taking part in Global Enterprise Week enables young people to start exploring the skills they will need for their future; by listening to influential employers and mentors and working with others to explore and understand the information provided it will allow them to have a positive and beneficial experience which will assist them in making the right choice.
Inspiration was provided by a number of guest speakers who all gave personal reflections on their own unique journeys and the lessons that each had learnt from them. The highlight of which was international business guru Ruth Badger, who had featured prominently in the BBC Apprentice series.
There were keynote addresses from three widely different local entrepreneurs. Hull’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2009 Amanda Hartley told the young people how she had realised her dream of opening a florists only a couple of years after leaving school, defying some people who said she was too young and that the business would not survive the recession. while Phil Benson of Xing Health spoke about the development of his business, including the initial impulse to set up following a visit to America and on to the present with their opening of a Xing shop in the heart of the Shambles in York and their new school programme, he also said they were now opening a Smoothie Bar in partnership with pupils from Winifred Holtby School that was sponsored by the John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank
The young people then moved from the theoretical to the practical, working in teams to complete the Badger’s Sett activity. Each team was set the challenge of coming up with a marketing concept for a product or service using an object placed on each group’s table as inspiration. Each group then had 45 minutes to come up with the name of the product, the retail cost and suitable marketing material, all of which had to be linked to the opportunities offered relating to renewables industry
They were then thrown into the Badger’s Sett, meaning they had to give a dynamic four -minute presentation to a panel of senior heads of local organisations. One person from each team was also allowed to make a one minute pitch to a video camera.
The Judges were:
1 Andrew Devenport Chief Executive of Youth Business International
2 Nick Sangwin Sangwins
3 Mike Pennington Publisher (MD) Mail News & Media
4 Jonathan Leafe MD Strawberry
5 Keith Madeley MBE Chairman of the Yorkshire Society

Quotes
“I enjoyed the speech from Ruth Badger; she is vey inspiring and makes me want to start up my own business. To improve, maybe not put the speakers at the end because by then lots of people had left or lost interest, as a team we was pleased to win and I know that I am ready to run my own business and will turn my college project into one called Mosh News”
Kallum Green, Wilberforce College
“I told the young people how important they are – they are the next business generation. They need to believe in themselves and actually get out there and do something and they certainly showed their entrepreneurial skills when they faced the judges at this event just like in Wolverhampton where I was born & Manchester where I work, Hull should be proud of its young people as they are truly enterprising.”
Ruth Badger
International Business Consultant
“The young people’s imaginations when presenting their product ideas was great and they clearly thought through what they intended saying to the judges and were not going to be distracted in putting over their case.”

“I’ve been involved in judging young people’s enterprise skills for a few years and Thursday’s event definitely matched the excellent standards set over the years. Much credit goes to the students themselves and also to their tutors for the creative, off-the-wall ideas and for their enthusiasm in presenting those ideas. Not easy to face a panel of judges but they did it with a confidence that bodes well for future entrepreneurship in the city. We should also be very proud of the organisers.”

Day 5 Programme Friday 16th November - Secondary School Enterprise Masterclass
Young people from Hull secondary schools attended an Entrepreneurship Masterclass along with pupils from Hessle High School and Hull Studio School. The Masterclass is designed to challenge young people to think about starting their own business as a career and becoming an entrepreneur. This is achieved by introducing the young people to local role models, as well as inspiring them through presentations, activities and discussion centred on their own life experiences, vision and achievements. The event began with a welcome by BBC presenter Blair Jacobs who outlined what the event was about and talked about the importance young people play in the future of the city of Hull. As an ice breaker the students had to build a free standing tower out of string, spaghetti and tape and then place a marshmallow on the top, the winning team was the one that could produce the tallest tower with their limited resources.
The day’s main guest speaker, international businesswoman and runner up in the BBC Apprentice series, Ruth Badger, who focused on the importance of having the right attitude in business and in life, provided the first inspiration of the day. During her presentation Ruth praised the city’s young people for their enterprising attitudes, in particular those that she had met whilst judging the Badger’s Sett Enterprise Challenge the day before.
As proof of this, the young people then heard from a variety of young local entrepreneurs including Bronwyn Wilson of Crazy Critter World who set up her business aged 14, Hull’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2009 Amanda Hartley of Amanda’s Blue Orchid,, Phil Benson of Xing Health also told of how discovering ‘smoothies’ had provided the inspiration to develop their business he also said they were now opening a Smoothie Bar in partnership with pupils from Winifred Holtby School that was sponsored by the John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank. All of these young entrepreneurs had received funding for their businesses from the John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank.
By the afternoon, it was time to put some of the ideas from the morning’s presentations into practice. They were asked to develop a marketing concept for a random object given to them and to pitch this to the Badger’s Sett. Each group had 45 minutes to come up with the name of the product, the retail cost and suitable marketing material. It was then time to present to the Chair Ruth Badger and her fellow judges.
Six teams were identified to present to the Badger’s Sett, with Ruth and her Badgers giving each team a real grilling before retiring to make their deliberations. Top of the pile came Eco Buddy from Malet Lambert School who won £400 donated by Arco. Second place, and £200 courtesy of Hull College Group went to Hydro of Hessle High , whilst behind them came Solar Comb from Malet Lambert who won £130 donated by Malet Lambert School, Fourth and fifth spots went to Hydro Bath Experience from Sirius Academy and Waterwonder from Winifred Holtby School and Solar Dog from Malet Lambert taking sixth place. These three prizes of £80 worth of vouchers were donated by some of the city’s young entrepreneurs Force-7, Buildlife and Xing Smoothies.
Best Video £800 – sponsored by CityWorks went to E Accessorise from Mewland School for Girls
Evaluation Draw £20 – sponsored by CityWorks went to Declyn from Trinity House School
At the end of the event, all teachers, students and business volunteers were asked to complete an evaluation, the results of which clearly showed that the event had been a success.

“It was a fantastic experience to see all pupils start with nothing and all end up with a product. Pupils carried out their own surveys and then presented quality pitches to the judges, and even those who did not pitch were not disappointed at not winning, just not pitching. There was an enterprising buzz around the whole room all day.”
