Equity is a forward–looking community of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic student talent, launched in response to the disadvantages Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic students face across Higher Education and the graduate labour market.

In this Talking Talent soundbite, UWE Bristol Alumnus Xavier Baker and programme creator Dr Zainab Khan discuss Bristol’s deep rooted history, this city’s stark inequalities and the need for city wide engagement with race equality work.

Hear about the development of Equity’s positive action work, the lived experiences of students and about organisations that have engaged with the scheme and are now capacity building for their own Equity activity - working to create inclusive environments and graduate recruitment practices - promoting inclusive economic growth.

To learn more about how as an organisation you can engage with the scheme, visit our Equity webpages.

During the UK lockdown due to Covid-19, we have been speaking with several Team Entrepreneurship students and start-up owners about how they have used Covid-19 to launch, grow and improve their businesses. These bite-sized podcasts are part of the Future Impact Podcast series run by Bristol Business School and Bristol Law School at UWE Bristol.

In this episode, we spoke with Morgan Beilby, Managing Director of Velvaere Studios, about how he managed to accelerate his start-up business during the lockdown.

"From a young age I have always had an entrepreneurial outlook. From selling neon shoes laces and comic books in primary school and then buying and selling clothes throughout secondary school, my dream was to always start my own business. Luckily I found the Team Entrepreneurship course at UWE Bristol which was the perfect place to start a business.

In the last year I started and now run Velvaere Studios which is a home gym design and equipment fit out company.

The company was started through my passion for fitness and wellness, but I was also inspired when travelling around Scandinavia, hence the company name Velvaere which means wellness and wellbeing in Norwegian.

At Velvaere Studios we strive to create remarkable fitness and wellness studios through excellence in design, equipment supply and customer service."
