My name is Shaimaa Fayed.
My business is making leather products
and they are the best in the Egyptian market.
LiveWIRE supported my business since the very beginning.
I now have three successful workshops and about 20 full-time staff.
The whole community benefits from my project.
I use recycled materials.
I've created 24 jobs for full and part-time staff.
And cascading my own experience to other young people.
In the future I dream of having an accredited training centre
that helps graduate entrepreneurs start up their own businesses.
I was studying design
and I was interested in how hospitals
could improve the environment for patients
and make better use of their space.
so I went about inventing a pull-out wall.
We've sold now into eight countries
and in the UK we've sold to 60 NHS trusts.
The revenues that we get, we spend on manufacture,
and that is spent on people to make the products
and supply the materials.
We have employed around 30 people now in the UK.
So this business is something that really is benefiting the UK economy.
Winning LiveWIRE for us has been brilliant.
It's brought us so much kudos,
but most of all new customers in new markets�
