Student start up businesses get new office space
A new dedicated co-working space for student start-ups has been launched on the Wrexham Glyndwr University campus.
The Enterprise Lounge at the university, which has many Shropshire students, enables start-ups to secure the office space and facilities they need to launch their businesses in an encouraging and supportive environment.
Three student/graduate businesses have already moved into the Enterprise Lounge on sixth month tenancies.
They are: David Hoares, of D and S Art, an art based start-up which teaches art, printmaking, and jewellery making; Emyr Owen – a former Student Ambassador at Wrexham Glyndwr who has founded InstaSim, a service which provides Welsh translations; Krasimira Petkova, of K and P Fusion, which arranges private medical treatment for internationals.
They said it helps to have a dedicated workplace.
Megan Breakwell, Entrepreneurship Co-ordinator said: “It is fantastic to be able to offer students an office space from which they can run their business.
“By gathering likeminded people and start-ups from all industries in one office, students can share ideas, network and ultimately create a community from which everyone will benefit.”
There is also an opening for local businesses or people in industry to sponsor a ‘desk’ to provide a student with a year’s free office space.
If businesses have ideas on how they would like to support start-ups get in touch via enhance@glyndwr.ac.uk
