Peter Jones, Entrepreneur
Enterprise is the key to the UK's future economic growth and success in today's global market. I have successfully managed to create my own businesses by adopting a 'can-do' attitude and ensuring that I never lose sight of the end goal. It is vital that we, as a nation, encourage people to believe in themselves and that we nurture their passion, drive and enthusiasm.
The Enterprising Britain competition is a great opportunity to celebrate some of the enterprise success stories around the UK. It raises awareness of those peole who really have made a difference to their communities, and helped to create a more dynamic enterprise culture for everyone. The initiatives highlighted by the Enterprising Britain competition should be encouraged and supported as much as possible.
