Our Managing Director, Jonathan Leafe, has committed his time and resources to a fantastic local initiative called For Entrepreneurs Only, which is designed to help boost Hull’s economy.
For Entrepreneurs Only is a group made up of like-minded entrepreneurs from the Hull and East Yorkshire area. Each member has founded and runs a successful business and is passionate about improving the state of the local economy through motivating, educating and passing on their valuable knowledge to other aspiring entrepreneurs.
The aim of the group is to help and support entrepreneurs that want to set up a business and create employment in the Hull and East Yorkshire area. Each member of the group has a specific area of expertise that they can provide support with, in Jonathan’s case, he is on-hand to provide specialist advice about advertising, business strategy, internet marketing, joint ventures, media relations, public speaking, staff development, hospitality, marketing, social media, web design and training.
Jonathan comments: “It’s great to be involved with a group of individuals that are motivated to help improve Hull’s future. Together, I genuinely believe we will be able to make a difference and if jobs are created thanks to our help, that’s a great achievement!
“I’m a big believer that passing on your first-hand knowledge to help those in need is one of the best ways to learn. That’s why I was so keen to develop the Strawberry Academy – so young people could learn and kick-start their careers by following the advice of other team members. For Entrepreneurs Only follows the same principle.
“The local economy has been hit hard in recent years and needs as much help as possible to get back on its feet. I know that there are some very talented potential entrepreneurs out there who just need a push in the right direction to help achieve their goals.”
