Networking whizzkid launches SKILL!

Stand up Patrick Philpott, MD of SKILL!, a new initiative launching tomorrow to help London school students develop skills in enterprise, networking and communication skills.

SKILL!’s launch event will see 150 students gather on Wednesday 14th May for a day of interactive learning with an impressive line-up of entrepreneurs.

YO! Company founder and former Dragon Simon Woodroffe will share his experiences, while other participators include organiser of the World Entrepreneur Summit and presenter of C4’s ‘Vocation, Vocation, Vocation’ David McQueen, serial entrepreneur and co-founder of Make Your Mark with a Tenner Oli Barrett, and Ariadne Capital’s Julie Meyer.

The final speech of the day will come from Patrick himself – and why not?

After all, who better than an 18 year-old (yes, he’s still doing his A-levels) who’s already been mixing it with entrepreneurs for five years and in business for two, to deliver the message that enterprise is for everyone?
