Clare Griffiths, Business Development Manager, said: “I am constantly impressed with the creative, motivated and ethical minds of our student entrepreneurs.

“The Santander Start-Up Grants will support the graduates to start and develop their own ventures - ranging from online language schools to innovative cushion designs, from children's toys made out of rescued wood (based in Costa Rica) to sustainable children's clothing (based in India).
