MEET BACK ON!

BUILT IN HULL. STARTING SMALL.

Meet Bilal Zoghayyer, the University of Hull student building BACK ON!, and follow our progress towards the first power bank rental venue trials.

Hi, I’m Bilal.

I’m Bilal Zoghayyer, a University of Hull student and the founder of BACK ON!. I’m building a power bank rental business that gives people a practical way to charge their phones while they are out.

We are starting with two machines and working towards our first venue trials in Hull. The priority is to test the service, understand how customers use it and learn what makes a placement work before expanding.

From an idea to a demonstration

I built a freestanding display for the station and showed BACK ON! at the University of Hull’s Freshers’ Fair on 22 September 2026, as part of the IDEAL Startup Studio stand.

That gave people a chance to see the machine in person. It does not imply that the university or any other venue has approved a permanent installation.

What we’re working on

We want to make renting and returning straightforward, offer useful support, and collect real usage evidence from our early placements. Our Guides & Updates section shares practical information and progress.

If you run a venue and want to explore a trial, tell us about your location.

BACK ON! LTD is registered in England and Wales, company number 17417137. Registered office: 51 Annandale Avenue, Bognor Regis, England, PO21 2ET. Our initial venue outreach is in Hull; the registered office is not a public rental or return point.
