Humber Business Week founder Dr Paul Sewell OBE has told how inspiration remains key when it comes to creating an entrepreneurial culture.
Addressing the festival’s launch as the programme of events for early June emerges - with internationally-acclaimed figures and domestic champions heading to Hull - Dr Sewell urged the city’s business leaders to get behind the annual activity, in a bid to banish economic gloom.
“Thank you all for keeping Business Week alive and kicking,” he told a healthy audience. “It is needed just as much now, if not more, than it ever has been. There’s still a dependency culture, going cap-in-hand for hand-outs, when we should be creating our own indigenous entrepreneurial culture. If business doesn’t do it, who will?”
