Youngsters in Bradford District now have their very own Young Enterprise team to help them learn valuable business skills while they are still at school.

Kickstart partner Young Enterprise Yorkshire and Humber has based a dedicated team in Bradford to deliver a range of enterprise activities in many of the District’s secondary schools and colleges.

Leading the young people’s element of the Kickstart programme, the Bradford team will work with head teachers, enterprise teachers, business and enterprise stakeholders to inspire and motivate Bradford’s young people.

They have also chosen to lease their local office from another Kickstart partner, Bradford Chamber, at their new business centre in Laisterdyke, Bradford.

Heading the new Bradford team is Matthew Band, Senior Enterprise Manager. Liz Hardaker has been appointed as Community Relations Manager while Tabusam Shah and James Long have joined the team as Enterprise Ambassadors.
