Calling all future entrepreneurs!
Earlier this year, we were excited to announce Simon Squibb, entrepreneur and founder of HelpBnk.com, as the official ambassador for The National Careers Challenge 2024/25.
Here’s the best part: your students now have an exclusive chance to pitch their business ideas directly to Simon at the TNCC finals this July!
Simon is deeply passionate about helping young people develop the skills they need to succeed. This is a unique opportunity for your students to learn, grow, and even have their big idea seen by one of the leading entrepreneurs in the country!
Encourage your students to dream big and take a chance on their entrepreneurial vision.
The future is in their hands, and we can’t wait to see what they create!

How can your students get involved? It’s super simple:
- Dream Big! Whether they’re entering solo or as a team, students should film themselves pitching their business idea. There are no limits to creativity – no right or wrong answers, just an energised, well thought out pitch that showcases their passion and vision!
2. Submit Their Pitch! They can send us their video in any of the following ways:
- Upload using the JotForm here
- Email it to us directly dream@tilg.co.uk
- Upload it to Instagram or TikTok and tag @simonsquibb and @TILG_UK
Our team will review all the videos and reach out to invite the most exciting pitches to the TNCC finals to pitch live to Simon!
