Stephen, who will meet the PM on June 22, was born with cerebral palsy which effects both his speech and mobility – but hasn’t prevented him from starting and growing his own very successful business designed specifically to assist others with mobility problems.

Launched almost three years ago, Lazarus Mobility has grown to become a leading supplier of numerous disability aids – with more in the pipeline due to Stephen’s development with experts at Warwick University.

Stephen has also had support from Dragon’s Den panellist Duncan Bannatyne, who last year agreed to pay his salary for a year to enable him to focus more fully on building up the business.
