G20 Young Entrepreneurs at the House of Lords

The international G20 YEA annual Summit brings together young entrepreneurs from many different countries. This year it was the turn of Russia to host. The UK delegation is jointly organized by the Young Brits Network and Youth Business International. After attending the send-off for the G20 Young entrepreneurs at the IoD before their trip to Moscow for the 2013 Summit, it was great to be able to co-host their triumphant return!

Lord Ahmed welcomed guests to the House of Lords and told of his own business journey from a market to his own fish & chip shops and now into property. 


We then heard from some of the excellent young entrepreneurs as well as the G20 President Alex Mitchell and Lead Delegate Glynn Peglar. Glynn said it’s not simply about knowledge exchange which is great in itself, but also about making excellent connections - as a result of attending previous summits he’s now launching his business in Mexico.

The young entrepreneurs fund their own trips and all were both inspired by what they got from the trip, and inspiring to us, as they told us a little about the Summit and their own growing businesses.

Owen Campbell-Moore energized us with his energy and passion for technology. Nathan Cornish of Timto set up his gifting platform to allow people to group together to buy gifts while also supporting charity. Elin Rees is a PR dynamo and already has international clients, providing PR for major music festivals. Nick Proctor of Amber Energy took full advantage of the occasion to suggest his green energy could be ideal for new commercial property sites!

After the presentation guests enjoyed networking over lunch with officers of the APPGE and some of PSC’s entrepreneur members.
