of Sylvian Care
‘What good is a person who doesn’t better the world around them?’ That’s what Dan and Paul Taherian’s dad used to say. And it’s their caring nature that led them to set up their home care business, Sylvian Care Woking, in 2022. The brothers wanted to make a difference. Paul was working in accountancy, and Dan was feeling unfulfilled in his role as an insurance consultant. ‘Why am I putting all this effort in?’ Dan thought and instead he decided it was time to start his own business.

of fit20
Starting a business can be daunting, but with the right support and belief in what you're offering, success follows. This is exactly what happened for Stephen and Gabrielle, owners of fit20 Plymouth Plympton. Despite having years of experience in the fitness industry, they had never come across a concept like fit20, a revolutionary training method that helps people build strength in just 20 minutes per week. Fast forward five months, and their studio is thriving beyond expectations.
