Without the support of the University, we wouldn’t be where we are and we are committed to overcoming some of the challenges of an ageing society. Healthy sleep is shown to play an important role in maintaining brain health with age, and poor sleep is a major factor in many conditions, especially Alzheimer’s.

Surrey start-ups Bike Bros PhD graduates Dimitar Kutsarov and
Yousef Sadik are co-founders of Bike Bros, a bicycle repairs and sales service located on campus. They received a Student Enterprise Kick Starter award, sponsored by Santander Universities, to help get their business off the ground.
Dimitar said: “The University encourages an entrepreneurial spirit and drive, offering a range of support services. Our shared vision for a community and environmentally-friendly bike shop brought us together, and, thanks to the grant, we’ve been able to pursue our passion.”

Health Psychology PhD student Sarah Helen King received £5,000 from the
Wates Family Enterprise Trust to develop InVigorise, a health and wellbeing social enterprise, which will help individuals to eat well, move more and feel better through a series of community-based workshops.
“The £5,000 investment will cover the start-up costs and, once the business is making a profit, this will help support the company to run free workshops aimed at key target groups which are at a higher risk of developing chronic conditions, such as obesity, which can be linked to their lifestyle.”

Law graduate Jade Ollivierre started her natural deodorant company whilst still a student. She secured £5,000 funding from Student Enterprise at Surrey to develop her product.
“The funding enabled us to buy our first batch of stock and push money into marketing initiatives that really helped to propel the brand to where it is today – without the award, it is incredibly unlikely we would have progressed further.”
