About Us
Enterprise UK is a charity which aims to give people the confidence and ambition to be enterprising.
We were founded as a campaigning organisation in 2004 by the British Chamber of Commerce, the Confederation of British Industry, the Institute of Directors and the Federation of Small Businesses. Back then our name was Enterprise Insight.
Our Trustees
- Simon Walker, Director General, Institute of Directors

- Cedric Kennedy, Finance Director, Confederation of British Industry
- Andrew Cave, Head of Policy, Federation of Small Businesses
We are co-founders of Global Entrepreneurship Week which inspires individuals and aspiring entrepreneurs to take the next step on their enterprise journey. With the emphasis on practical support for aspiring and existing entrepreneurs, Global Entrepreneurship Week is definitely more than just a week!
Our objectives:
- Promote positive attitudes towards entrepreneurship
- Increase entrepreneurial skills and confidence
- Facilitate access to international networks and knowledge

Our funding from BIS has ceased and we are in the process of handing on our programmes to parties able to take them forward. For the current situation on the remaining Tenner programme see here.
