Setting up their own business is the ambition of many refugees welcomed to the UK. While the route to entrepreneurship isn’t easy or short, it is also far from impossible as demonstrated by Basel.

We met with him to talk about his business – ZR Tiling Services, his passion for his work, the support he received to get there, as well as the advice he has for others at the beginning of their journey to entrepreneurship.

Basel shares the steps he took to get where he is now – the importance of putting effort into learning English, volunteering and eventually getting a paid job and finally working with a business advisor to make ZR Tiling Services a reality.
