Enterprise UK

We were founded in 2004 by the British Chamber of Commerce, the Confederation of British Industry, the Institute of Directors and the Federation of Small Businesses, funded mostly by what is now called the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills. Back then, our name was Enterprise Insight. We started our work with young people under a campaign called Make Your Mark that encouraged enterprising activity amongst 14 – 30 year olds. That campaign was so successful that we wanted to reach out to new people of all ages and backgrounds, fresh thinkers who spot opportunities, apply entrepreneurial talents and overcome the obstacles to make ideas happen. And we have arranged these programmes under a new brand – Enterprise UK.
