Sue Poole Wins Enterprise Educator Award 2011

Date: 17-November-2011 

On Thursday 8th September in the impressive environment of Coventry Cathedral, Sue Poole was presented with first prize as Enterprise Educator for 2011.

The awards are jointly organised by Enterprise Educators UK (EEUK) and National Centre for Entrepreneurship in Education (NCEE) and have become an important feature of the annual International Entrepreneurship Educators Conference. 

As Enterprise Education Manager at Gower College Swansea, and one of the Enterprise Champions in Wales, Sue works not only with Gower College but with schools, colleges, universities, government and businesses across Swansea Bay to share practice and establish and support a range of initiatives. It was this work, ‘The Expansion of Enterprise Education across Swansea Bay’, that led to Sue’s award.

Sue’s principal role is to act as a champion for enterprise, to act as a driver, to take a lead and pull a range of ideas and opportunities together. She has the advantage of working full time on enterprise where she can apply all her passion to identifying a mix of ideas from a range of sources.

Sue was very grateful for this work being recognised nationally through this award and sees it as, “A major boost for Swansea Bay …”, but in typical style she comments, “… but now we have got to do something better.”

In the Enterprise Educators category, The Highly Commended finalists for 2011 were ‘FRESH’ of Belfast Metropolitan College, and ‘Campus Enterprise’ of Liverpool John Moores University.
