- Research has shown that 60 per cent of 18-30 years olds have a desire to start up their own business, compared to 38 per cent of adults, yet the barriers faced by the younger generation are high
Paul Hargreaves, managing director of Cotswold Fayre said, “The growing number of young entrepreneurs looking to start a business is a great sign for the fine food industry. However, the prospect of starting a business or taking it to the next level can be incredibly daunting.”
In order to support young entrepreneurs aged 16-24, Cotswold Fayre is launching its Cotswold Collaborates scheme, the winner of which will receive £1000 to help develop their business, time with an in-house designer to build a strong brand, and monthly mentoring sessions with Paul Hargreaves. These sessions will help the winner to develop a business plan and gain valuable insights into the fine food industry.
Paul Hargreaves said, “Cotswold Collaborates will offer the winning entrant not just monetary support but also business advice to help face the difficult challenges of setting up a business.”
The application form can be found at www.cotswold-fayre.co.uk. Applications close on 30th June.
