As a social entrepreneur and intellectual property solicitor, George brings a wealth of expertise to our team of Entrepreneurs in Residence.

The School of Business are pleased to welcome George Neris to the Entrepreneurs in Residence team.

George is a social entrepreneur and intellectual property solicitor. His vision is to foster creativity and inspire an entrepreneurial spirit in everyday people. He founded artFix (link to artfix.org.uk) which is a combination of a workspace, a learning centre, a popup venue and a coffeehouse. We sat down with George over coffee to find out more about his journey as an entrepreneur and what advice he would give to someone trying to kick start a new business idea.
