Young business people deserve to be seen as the stars they really are! Every day I am inspired by the young people I meet who are interested in business. The stories they tell of how they started and what they have achieved deserves greater recognition. As a charity, we can only offer to help young people because of the support we receive from others. Our Friends include the local authority and Kent business people. This is an exciting opportunity to acknowledge what is being achieved by Kent for Kent in Kent. Congratulations to every young person who is supporting Kent's economic development.
