A THIRD-year student at the University of Worcester has established his own events business after receiving funding through a university initiative.
Peter Marezana has set up Excelsior Events and has already secured a number of lucrative contracts.
The 21-year-old business management and accountancy student made an application to the SPEED (Student Placements for Entrepreneurs in Education) programme, which helps students to start their own business, and secured more than £4,000.
“I decided to set up my own business after undertaking an internship with a blue chip stock broker firm in London,” he said. “While there I organised a seminar for the firm in Worcester, which generated about £500,000 worth of business.”
