The Sir Peter Rigby Centre for Enterprise
Inspiring enterprising futures.
Welcome to our Centre for Enterprise
At the heart of our campus, the Sir Peter Rigby Centre for Enterprise offers a vibrant space for inspiration, expert advice, and cutting-edge facilities - all designed to help you succeed. This exciting initiative is powered by the generous support of the Sir Peter Rigby Charitable Trust, inspiring the next generation of innovators and leaders.
The Centre is a dynamic hub designed to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit of University students, staff, and recent graduates. We're here to help you develop powerful, transferable entrepreneurial skills, whether you're securing funding to turn your business idea into reality or finding your passion for entrepreneurship. We support students who might not otherwise have access to university resources, assist academic staff in commercialising world-changing research, and provide entrepreneurs with the tools they need to thrive.
