It’s my first day as the new president of Royal Holloway Entrepreneurs- I’m very excited to be joining you all!
I’ve just graduated with a BA from Royal Holloway and am about to start my Masters in Politics here. In my final year I started a Community Action scheme called ‘Study Buddy,’ a foreign language exchange programme used and run by students at Holloway. Study Buddy started as an idea on a post-it note in my bedroom, and then with the support of Community Action and Royal Holloway Entrepreneurs it grew into a successful and well used programme. This year I hope to support and motivate anybody with their own ideas, whether they are small social enterprise programme ideas or huge multi-million pound company ideas!
With lots of great ideas and enthusiam I hope we can build on Jack’s work and grow and improve this already successful organisation.

Jack founded Royal Holloway Entrepreneurs in September 2009 to provide the support that he would have wanted to receive when he started The Founder, Royal Holloway’s independent newspaper in his first year at the College.
Jack is currently taking a year out from his studies to run Royal Holloway Entrepreneurs and to focus on eNovella, his new social network and publishing outlet for creative writers.
Jack is something of a serial entrepreneur. Having designed a number of commercial websites for small businesses whilst at school, he set up a small computer business during sixth form, building and selling computers on the internet and through eBay. During a gap year between school and university, he set up a browser-based online game which experienced some success as a project during the time it ran.
Jack currently lives in Egham. To contact Jack, please use the contact page.
John joined the University of London in January 2009 and is permanently attached to Royal Holloway. He is responsible for delivering student entrepreneurship; this means supporting Royal Holloway Entrepreneurs to run workshops and secure guest speakers and running his weekly Tuesday morning Business Clinic sessions where students can receive one to one business guidance.
John joined from Goldsmiths Careers Service, and is a Goldsmiths alumnus, having studied Psychology from 1996-1999. In 2001 he started Auvica, a video and web design consultancy, where he remained as Creative Director for 7 years. He has also worked in marketing, market research, media research, and webcasting. He lives in Battersea and has no cats (sadly).
We are thrilled to announce that Professor Alec Reed CBE has joined Royal Holloway Entrepreneurs as Founding Patron.
Alec founded the Reed family of companies in 1960, which now employs over 4,000 staff in more than 400 offices worldwide. Alec has been involved in a number of entrepreneurial initiatives including the Academy of Enterprise and the West London Academy. He also runs The Big Give, a website which introduces donors to charitable projects.
Alec told us “I am very honoured to be invited to be the Founding Patron of Royal Holloway Entrepreneurs and am delighted to accept. It promises to be an excellent initiative.”
