The founders of a training company which inspires thousands of youngsters every year has secured the backing of Moonpig founder Nick Jenkins.
The Inspirational Learning Group, based in Stafford, is the company behind the º£½ÇÊÓƵ’s biggest employability challenge which aims to inspire and encourage young people to achieve their dreams.
Now Nick Jenkins – founder of online greetings card company Moonpig and former Dragon’s Den star – has agreed to be the ambassador for the 2019/20 National Enterprise Challenge.
Nick becomes the challenge’s third ambassador – with the role previously held by Lord Sugar and Theo Paphitis.
National Enterprise Challenge co-founder Mike Dyer said: "We are really looking forward to having Nick as our ambassador.
"His appointment – and the two great challenges set by Grenade and Air Products – will give the contest a different dynamic and we can’t wait to see all the great ideas that the students have come up with."
Nick added: "I am delighted to become an ambassador for The National Enterprise Challenge for this academic year. Developing young people’s enterprise skills is vitally important for the º£½ÇÊÓƵ economy so it’s great to be involved in a competition which helps to do this.
"I am looking forward to seeing the finalists’ ideas in July."
