Award winning local company, Send My Bag, has announced their support for Young Enterprise NI as their new Lead Partner.
The Bangor based relocation and baggage shipping business was founded by Young Enterprise alumni, Adam Ewart, and operates thousands of routes, being awarded The Queen’s Award for Enterprise in 2018.
The business owner approached the charity to offer support, following the blow of the loss of all their public funding.
Young Enterprise is dedicated to inspiring and educating local young people about the world of business and entrepreneurship. By providing fun, practical business experiences, they empower young people to develop critical skills such as teamwork, leadership, and financial literacy. Send My Bag’s commitment as Lead Partner reflects its dedication to social responsibility and community engagement.
“Supporting Young Enterprise NI aligns perfectly with our core values of innovation, learning, and community,” said Adam Ewart, Founder and CEO of Send My Bag. “As a company that has experienced rapid growth in the global marketplace, we understand the importance of fostering entrepreneurial spirit and providing young people with the tools they need to navigate the challenges of the future. As a Young Enterprise alumni myself, by partnering with Young Enterprise NI, we hope to inspire the next generation of leaders and innovators.”
The collaboration will allow Send My Bag to contribute not only financial support but also expertise and resources that can enhance the educational experiences of participating students. In addition, Send My Bag employees will engage in mentorship opportunities, sharing their knowledge and experiences to help young people develop their own business ideas.
With the ongoing changes in the global economy and job market, fostering entrepreneurial skills in young individuals is more crucial than ever. By supporting Young Enterprise, Send My Bag is investing in the future workforce of Northern Ireland, ensuring they are equipped to face the challenges of tomorrow with confidence and creativity.
“We are thrilled to welcome Send My Bag as our Lead Partner” said Carol Fitzsimons, MBE, Chief Executive of Young Enterprise. “Their support will play a pivotal role in helping us expand our reach and provide even more young people with the opportunity to learn about business in a practical and impactful way.”
