Kyle Whitehill, director of enterprise at Vodafone UK, commented that those with entrepreneurial brains are good for the economy and the business world.

“If young people are more confident about fulfilling their ideas, whether with their own businesses or as part of a big business like Vodafone, then it's good for the UK economy as a whole,” he said to the publication.
