Budding local entrepreneurs Ollie Groombridge and Scott Matthew met up with their MP, Steve Brine, recently to promote their own business venture, which is already making quite a mark.
Ollie, 15, and Scott, 16, have started ABANO Health & Fitness, a free advice website offering help and tips on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, with a particular focus on youngsters between 14-19. They both attend The Kings School in Winchester.
Ollie says; "ABANO is a free advice website that is the key to a well sculpted body and healthy lifestyle. We are based right here in Winchester, and have a wide range of experience with dealing with clients of all body shapes and fitness and tailoring to their requests."
Scott added; "There is a lot of information out there on various workouts, what's good and what's not so good, and it is often hard to know who to trust. At ABANO we have a team from various sporting and scientific backgrounds and we have gathered the knowledge together to provide the best workouts that work- and destroy your boundaries."
ABANO have already had over 250,000 worldwide hits, from countries as far afield as the US, Australia and Japan and its creators are busy monetizing the site.
MP Steve Brine says; "We hear so much about the need in our economy for innovation and energy to build new businesses that will create wealth and jobs. The ABANO guys are a perfect example of this in action and I think they will go far. Their passion for fitness and health shines through and I really like the focus they have on young people because it surely makes sense to encourage as many people as possible to get into the habit of looking after their bodies.
"I think Ollie and Scott also have a very responsible attitude to this stuff and want to produce bespoke plans to help youngsters get and stay fit. Young people have enough pressures on them to conform to a certain body shape these days so I think this is really important. Whether they can do anything for unhealthy MPs nearing forty remains to be seen but, if anyone can help, I reckon the ABANO boys can!"
