UK'S first Enterprise Hackathon will challenge young people to make profit in just 72 hours

The UK's first-ever enterprise hack event, held in partnership with LifeSkills created with Barclays, is about to take place as the brainchild project of social entrepreneurs Bejay Mulenga and Liam Tootill of 

. The hack will see a series of events take place over four months, inviting 1000 young people from across the UK to discover everything they need to know about entrepreneurship.

The Supa Academy Hack will take place 24-26 July at the Old Truman Brewery in London's Brick Lane and be preceded by two micro events in April and May.

Over the course of the Supa Academy Hack, participants will be mentored by some of the UK's leading entrepreneurs and exposed to some of the world's leading brands, including Facebook and MTV. Following a series of intense workshops and master-classes, they will then be invited to create their very own pop-up supermarket and e-commerce site where they will be challenged to generate income in just 72 hours.

Lending his support to Supa Academy Hack, Enterprise Adviser to the Prime Minister, Lord Young said,

"Liam and Bejay have created a truly unique and dynamic event concept to inspire young people into business. Whether a young person aspires to be a product designer, a musician or a restaurateur, entrepreneurial skills are essential to success, and we need to see more initiatives like Supa Academy Hack taking place in the wider community."

Bejay Mulenga, 19, co-founder of Supa Academy, said,

"The Supa Academy Hack is part of our commitment to changing the landscape of enterprise in the UK. It's the first event of its kind and will harness the huge appetite there is amongst young people today to create their own business and be their own boss. The event is open to anyone between the ages of 18 and 24, and from all walks of life."

"The Supa Academy Hack is the perfect platform for young people to earn-as-they-learn in an intense retail environment, with exposure to some of the biggest names in business."

Some of the names that will appear over the course of the three-day event include: Fraser Doherty of Superjam, entrepreneur and investor Sherry Coutu, and Divinia Knowles President of Mind Candy.

Applicants are invited to apply online by answering a questionnaire and posting a short film about why they should be one of the 'Supa 500'.

Paula Bellamy grew up in Felixstowe, left school at 16 and started her career in H M Customs &amp;amp; Excise, then moved into logistics learning accounting, imports, exports, road haulage and also trying a shipping Line, finally choosing freight forwarding as her career of choice. She was employed as General Manager by an American firm to run their UK office and warehouse, a position she held for 10 years, 2001 - 2011.In 2011, her husband and family moved to Dubai in order to explore other opportunities and further their careers. To this end, she was able to set-up a freight forwarding company from zero, creating a very successful office from 2011 through 2016. In 2016, Paula set up OL Dubai again from zero, the team followed her leadership and together they created a very nice successful freight forwarding office in Dubai with many good relationships such as 3rd party warehousing, good sea-freight and airfreight carrier contracts and in-house customs clearance processing. The knowledge combined in this office ensures the clients receive everything they need for local Middle East end of end logistics with their freight forwarding movements Internationally.This bring us upto date for 2020 'The year of change' and like many others Paula's personal situation changed, her husband was made redundant, children had moved onto University and work based placements and therefore they chose to re-locate back to the UK.So in March 2021, Paula decided to use the relocation to her own and OL's advantage. Together with the support of the president of OL USA Alan Baer, it was decided that Paula would strengthen OL relationships in the UK &amp;amp; Europe for commercial shipments to the UAE the USA and beyond, Paula also continues to be Remote Managing Director for the UAE and travels between the UK &amp;amp; Dubai every quarter. For the UK development, Paula will work to build a recognized OL office for clients and partners alike to again ensure local knowledge is readily accessible for any Client that requires more in-depth information, or just a seamless logistics end to end move which can only serve to strengthen the Global network of OL own offices.Relationship building and networking is a strength and passion for Paula so she will continue to help clients, partners and friends across the world to connect in a stronger and more enjoyable way.
