King's College, Cambridge

The Fellowship

The experience of King’s has for several decades been marked, on a daily basis for the Fellowship and on an occasional basis for NRMs returning to College, by the conversation of Basim Musallam at lunch or of Jim Trevithick at dinner. Sadly, both died during 2025, Jim suddenly and unexpectedly in May, Basim after a lengthy illness in August. Jim insisted that there should be no memorial event for him other than a wake, and this was held in the Fellows’ Garden on a fine summer’s evening on the day of his funeral, with many of his old students and friends returning to the College for the occasion. Basim was remembered in a moving memorial event in Hall where, among many rich recollections of him, we were able to beam in one of his undergraduate teachers from Beirut to give a tribute and to play both part of one of Basim’s television documentaries about The Arabs from the early 1980s and a recording of Basim’s very particular way of reading, as Vice-Provost, St Matthew’s account of the visit of the Wise Men from the East to the Christ child. Full obituaries of Basim and Jim will appear in due course.

Meanwhile the Fellowship has renewed itself with the election to Fellowships of Tina Phillips, the Sultan Qaboos Professor of Modern Arabic Studies, in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, and Umang Bhatt, Assistant Professor at the Cambridge Institute for Technology and Humanity and its Centre for Human-Inspired Artificial Intelligence, in Computer Science. Through the generosity of the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, the College has been able to appoint Sophie Harbour, a political scientist, as full-time Executive Director of the Entrepreneurship Lab and Fellow. We have also been able to lure back to King’s, as an Honorary Fellow, Rana Mitter, the S.T. Lee Chair in US-Asia Relations at the Harvard Kennedy School. We put Rana to immediate work enriching the intellectual life of the College by having him lecture to the College community on the day he was admitted to his Fellowship.

Tutorial

The academic year 2024/2025, was my third in post as Senior Tutor. We educated 826 students of whom 466 were undergraduates, 211 were full-time graduates, and 65 were part-time graduates. This is the greatest number of part-time postgraduates the College has had to date. Increasingly we are seeing PhD students studying part time and balancing their postgraduate research alongside jobs, or parenting responsibilities. We continue to see strong value add performance by our undergraduates, with 21% of our finalists obtaining first-class degrees and 81% good honours degrees overall, having achieved only 18% firsts, and 72% 2.1 and firsts during their first year of study. Alongside overall academic performance, how students improve between their first-year exam results and their finals is an important marker the College monitors. Whilst we hope to see strong academic performances for all our students, it is growth, improvement, and intellectual development throughout their years here, which continues to be at the core of ‘a King’s education’.

Whilst we continue to pursue academic excellence, we have also seen a revival of many of the wider academic traditions for which King’s has long been known; several academic student societies including the King’s Drama Society, the Persian Poetry Group, the student Classics society Classical Retellings, and the King’s Law Society saw a resurgence of student interest, and long running academic seminars such as King’s in the Middle East convened by King’s Bye-Fellow Dr Mezna Qato, offered a full term card throughout the year. Highlights of this programming included a hugely successful performance of Macbeth in the Chapel, and a lecture by author, journalist and activist Ta-Nehisi Coates which was followed by a roundtable dinner attended by Fellows, students and University colleagues.

The Futures Tutor, a role which delivers careers coaching and mentoring to all students in the College, was launched in Michaelmas 2024. The service provides tailored support to students to help them think about what their next steps after King’s might be, whether that is graduate study, postdoctoral applications, graduate training schemes, or first jobs. The Futures Tutor works with our students to help them identify and pursue their professional goals and supports them to apply for internships, matches them with volunteering opportunities or industry alumni-mentors, and ensures that they know how to present themselves and their skills in the highly competitive job market they are entering after leaving King’s.

The College’s Health and Wellbeing service, led by the College Nurse and the Welfare Tutor Dr Rosanna Omitowoju, oversaw provision of a wide range of activities and support, much of which has a focus on building resilience. Alongside our mental health team, we introduced a neurodiversity coach to support students with Autism and ADHD navigate their academic work and support them to thrive in their studies. This sits alongside our Academic Skills Advisor who supports any student struggling with their academic work to build the skills needed to navigate the fast paced and demanding nature of tripos or post graduate study here at Cambridge.

We said goodbye to a much-loved member of the Fellowship, Mr Jim Trevithick, in the Easter term, students past and present returned to College to pay their respects, and the residents of S staircase left flowers at the door of his set. He was an iconic figure around the College and will be much missed.

Widening Participation

King’s offers a range of targeted support to offer holders and incoming students in order to help them thrive on their degree. This support includes mentoring and tutoring during the period between offer-letters being sent out, and A Level exams; a Bridging Programme, which is a residential programme that offers a small number of incoming students meeting specific widening participation criteria the opportunity to engage in a range of social activities, to interact with some of our current students, and to develop and refine general, and course specific skills, to help them thrive on their chosen course, between A Level results day, and the start of the academic year in October.

Outreach

At King’s, we are not only committed to ensuring that our selection process is fair and inclusive, but also, to actively encouraging students from all backgrounds to apply to King’s, and to flourish, academically, socially, emotionally, when they get here. The College’s outreach work includes visiting state schools in our Link Area in the North East of England, hosting school visits to King’s, peer-to-peer outreach which sees King’s students visit state schools in the North East, and a variety of residential programmes targeted at UK state school students, some of which focus on specific subjects – such as our language based World of Worlds residential, our Small Subjects residential, our Calculating Women residential and our Maths from Underground residential – and some, such as our Year 12 Application and Aspirational Support programme, which incorporate A Level tutoring. This is all complemented by the broader work we do to support students and teachers, the activities we offer during open days, and the exciting programmes offered by our Into University centre in Middlesbrough, which opened its doors in Autumn 2024.

Graduate Admissions

In the academic year 24/25 we received 757 applications, made 276 offers and admitted 135 new graduate students: 82 MPhil (or other short courses), and 53 PhD students. Of these 83 in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (59 MPhil, 24 PhD), and 52 in the Sciences (23 MPhil, 29 PhD). 94 were overseas, including students with refugee status. Among Judge Business School students, we have admitted 10 new full-time MBA and 25 part-time (16 EMBA and 9 MSt) students.

205 of the 276 offer-holders sought funding from King’s, many in the context of widening participation. We supported 39 new students (13 PhD and 26 MPhil) of which 7 are in partnership with other organisations, such as the Cambridge Trust. We continue to fully or partly support 29 continuing PhD students.

Congratulations to the 157 students who have completed their courses between September 2024 and September 2025: 47 PhD, 80 MPhil, and 30 other courses.

Postgraduate funding is increasingly sparse, and many fine candidates are unable to take up places on postgraduate courses of study and research as a result of a lack of PhD and Masters studentships. King’s is proud to support so many of our postgraduate students, but there is always more we would like to do!

Graduate Life

In its first year, the post of Head of Graduate Affairs has been taken up by Dr Laura Davies. This role aims to offer strategic long-term thinking and specialist support to our postgraduate students who often have very different challenges to our undergraduates. The Head of Graduate Affairs leads the team of Graduate Tutors, represents the College at intercollegiate meetings, and curates a programme of academic and pastoral support tailored to the needs our graduate community. This ranges from more specialist advice about studying as a parent, to grant application writing, thesis support, and research presentation skills. We have launched a series of termly breakfasts to help our graduate students socialise and connect around the demands of labs and archival work, and run a programme of research talks and High Table dinners to give students an opportunity to share their research with the Fellows of the College.

Graduates

It was a privilege to have led the King’s College Graduate Union, as it now is, through the end of the 2024/25 academic year. I give huge thanks to my predecessor, Spencer Lee Boya, whose leadership of the Union warmly welcomed me, and many other new graduate students, to King’s. 

The 2024-25 academic year marked a fundamental transition in the structure and operation of graduate representation at King’s. As intimated, the King’s College Graduate Society was reconstituted as the new King’s College Graduate Union (KCGU). Complete with a new constitution, standing orders, and indeed branding, the new MCR at King’s was designed to better reflect the shape of graduate student engagement post-pandemic. More acutely, my January election followed a quashed December election cycle, further prompting a need for reform to our governance and approach. 

The new constitution sets an explicit expectation that KCGU fosters good relations not just among graduates but between graduates and undergraduates, and that it works with KCSU where doing so advances the interests of the wider student body without undermining graduate interests. The internal structure of the Executive has been updated to reflect who actually needs to be around the table. The number of Trustees has been reduced to a more manageable size (four: the President, Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary, as opposed to before where all officers were Trustees), and the Treasurer has been repositioned to mirror the KCSU Vice-President role, facilitating joint work. New posts, including a BME Officer, a Disability Officer, and a Part-Time Students Officer, recognise areas where graduate representation has historically been thin. An Equalities and Liberation Subcommittee has been created to ensure that liberation responsibilities are still carried out even when individual equalities roles are vacant. The Chair of the King’s Graduate Bar is now an Executive Committee member, bringing one of the most significant graduate spaces under stable representation.

In previous years, because terms ran from Christmas through Christmas, only those on a 1 year+ course may run for President and other similar ‘major offices’ (to borrow from the Education Act’s phrasing). This was never formalised in the Constitution, Standing Orders, or policy, but became a deeply entrenched convention. One-year MPhils make up a large proportion of our constituency, and should feel empowered to run for office. Accordingly, the election cycle for KCGU now runs September through September. In addition to empowering one-year MPhils to run, the thought process was that more students would be willing to engage with the momentum of Freshers’ Week.

One of the more consequential governance changes for the College at-large was that KCGU secured amendments to the College Ordinances that gave the KCGU President a voting seat on College Council, with the Treasurer as a non-voting member. This corrects the ambiguity that had a separate elected post for voting member of College Council, a post unfilled for years, and brings KCGU’s practice in line with that of KCSU.

KCGU was also proud this year to lead a reform of societies governance across the College. Until now, societies had operated within an informal and uneven framework. Some had constitutions; others did not. Some were clearly directly affiliated with the College (though with no route to be recognised as such); others were treated as Union societies by default. Graduate societies in particular lacked a coherent route to recognition or funding. The most significant element of the reform was the introduction of a formal three-tier recognition structure. This framework did not previously exist in any form. Under the new model, Type A societies are fully recognised and funded jointly by the Unions through the Societies Funding Committee. They are required to maintain constitutions, run elections, keep accounts, and follow baseline governance standards appropriate for groups receiving College-derived funding. Type B societies, which are recognised directly by the Unions, follow lighter expectations suited to smaller or specialist groups. And Type C societies, entirely new this year, are those affiliated directly with the College. These are groups whose nature, purpose, or scale makes them better overseen by a College Officer than by the Unions. Some groups, such as the Boat Club, or King’s Politics, already operated in this way, but had no space within the regulations for recognition. These reforms created such a space.

As part of these changes to College Regulations, we also led on updating the rules around the funding of the Student Unions: Under the previous written rules, KCSU and KCGU were formally expected to negotiate their division of funding themselves, with the Senior Treasurer intervening only in the event of a dispute. In reality, as confirmed through the joint funding review and long-standing custom, the Senior Treasurer has for several years been the person who actually determines the division of funds. The new regulations simply bring the formal wording into line with this established and effective practice. 

Another major piece of work this year was the complete renegotiation of the Memorandum of Understanding governing student-run formals. A central achievement of the new MOU is the establishment of a clear, equitable ticketing system. Historically, many of the familiar pain points between KCSU and KCGU originated in ticket allocation: how exclusive formals were divided, how much discretion each Union had, and how many tickets were guaranteed to those organising the event. For the first time, there are explicit provisions for guaranteed tickets for each Union, guaranteed free tickets for the students running the event, and clearly defined responsibilities for allocation and oversight.

Another major outcome of the negotiations was the College’s agreement, in principle, to allow two student-run formals per week, funding permitting. This is a substantial improvement on previous arrangements and reflects the trust built between the Unions and College Officers. While funding for a permanent expansion was not fulfilled this year, we hope this lays a credible foundation for expansion in subsequent years.

A significant portion of the Union’s work this year focused on the day-to-day environments and activities that shape the graduate experience. While constitutional reform and policy development have occupied much of this report, much of this year’s progress lay in simply providing support and activities for students day-to-day. The most visible achievement in this area was the full refurbishment of the Graduate Suite. The refurbishment involved repainting, recarpeting, reorganising the layout to create clearly defined zones, and replacing furniture with durable, comfortable alternatives suited to both social and academic use. To ensure that the benefits of the refurbishment were durable rather than dependent on individual officers, we drafted and implemented the Union’s first Student Space Policy. Shared with KCSU, we created a clear set of expectations in student spaces like the Graduate Suite, Graduate Bar, JCR, or even student-run formals, with clear procedures on what action may be taken when students seriously breach those expectations.

Throughout the year we ran film nights, bar evenings in the Grad Bar, craft sessions in the Art Rooms, reading groups, banner-making workshops, welfare teas, and informal mixers. Alongside regular programming, we delivered several higher-profile events. Graduate formals ran smoothly throughout the year, supported by the new MOU, which clarified responsibilities and ticketing allocations. In Easter Term, I negotiated approval for an additional graduate formal, which required direct coordination with Catering and Tutorial. To keep pricing accessible, we entered an agreement with King’s Politics Society, granting them a defined ticket allocation in exchange for a financial contribution that enabled the Union to subsidise graduate tickets without drawing on additional College funding.

The Union also responded to specific welfare concerns affecting trans and gender-diverse students, particularly following the public reaction to the For Women Scotland UKSC decision. We organised two poster and protest-sign-making sessions, which were well attended and provided supportive spaces for students to discuss their concerns.

The Union was also actively involved in the College’s work on responsible investment. Throughout the year, representatives from both Unions served on the working group responsible for developing a revised responsible investment policy. This policy, adopted by the Governing Body in Easter Term, commits the College to divesting from companies involved in arms manufacturing and from firms engaged in activities recognised as illegal under international law. Ahead of the vote, KCGU conducted both an internal Executive vote and a graduate-wide survey, concluding on 6 May, both of which showed clear support for the policy. 

All in all, this has been a year of substantial reconstruction for graduate representation at King’s. Much of the work undertaken has not been immediately visible, but it has been necessary: establishing structures that are clear, workable, and capable of lasting beyond any individual committee. Though I also hope the wide range of social events we run throughout the year, the welfare sessions hosted, the coffee machine, snacks, cutlery, and stationery we bought for the Graduate Suite were more immediately appreciated by the Graduate student body. 

I am grateful to the many individuals across the College who made this work possible. In particular, I would like to thank Dr Myfanwy Hill for her continued guidance and challenge throughout the year, Beni Warner for his collaboration across KCSU on a number of significant reforms, and the Provost and Fellows for their support in embedding the Union more fully within the College’s governance structures. I am also grateful to the members of the KCGU Executive, whose commitment and willingness to engage seriously with this work made these changes possible.

Development

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our NRMs, friends, and supporters, the King’s Campaign — launched in 2018 — has passed its ambitious target and raised an incredible £105 million to date. We owe you an enormous debt of gratitude!

With your help, we have welcomed a record number of undergraduate students from disadvantaged backgrounds and are supporting them to thrive at King’s. We have introduced wide-ranging and imaginative initiatives to support all our students, including amongst many things, expanded welfare and mental health services, and dedicated childcare provision for our postgraduate community.

We have strengthened our academic excellence by creating 15 new Research Fellowships, enhancing both our research capacity and teaching quality. You have given over £5 million for MPhil and PhD studentships, which is enabling more students to pursue graduate research and contribute to the frontiers of knowledge. Across the King’s estate, we have invested in building, refurbishing, protecting, and enhancing our spaces — creating an environment that reflects the ambition and brilliance of our community.

For our students and Fellows alike, the impact of the King’s Campaign has been truly transformative. We are deeply grateful for your support, your commitment, and your trust in us. The momentum continues. The success of the Campaign is already shaping the next chapter in the College’s history. Together with our generous supporters, we will go further — expanding access for students from the broadest range of backgrounds, delivering world-class teaching and research, and safeguarding our extraordinary heritage for generations to come.

As a permanent reminder of the step change in the College’s history in 1972 when women were admitted as undergraduates, a new Portraits Gallery was officially ‘opened’ in the Michaelmas term. The 50 portraits of King’s women that were commissioned from award-winning photographer Jooney Woodward as part of our 50 Years of Women at King’s Anniversary were installed in their permanent new home in the corridor outside the Hall.

We worked with Krishna Jain Palmer, second year undergraduate in Architecture, who designed the complex scheme which sits proud of the listed wood panel that was originally in the Chapel. Complete with new lighting, the corridor has been transformed into the beautiful Portraits Gallery which can be seen by all. Our thanks go to everyone who has made it such a stunning space, especially Nicky Zeeman and the Maintenance team who renovated the wood panels, installed the lighting and helped to hang the portraits.

In that same month, over 170 NRMs and students gathered for our first Economics reunion in ten years — and it was well worth the wait. The evening began with three of our current Economics students delivering insightful and engaging talks, showcasing the talent and curiosity driving the next generation of economists. This was followed by a lively conversation between the Provost Gillian Tett and Mervyn King (KC 1966), who shared reflections on his career and revealed how Gillian’s anthropological approach to economics had challenged and helped reshape his own traditional views. The Keynes Lecture Theatre was packed throughout, and the dinner that followed offered a relaxed space for networking, storytelling, and reconnecting with old friends. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and we’re already making plans to ensure the next reunion does not take another decade to arrive!

At the very start of 2025, the Provost and I made our first joint visit to Singapore to meet NRMs and supporters. It was a full and rewarding schedule: we had several very engaging individual meetings with alumni who met the new Provost for the first time; hosted a wonderful gathering of alumni and their guests; and the Provost participated in a lively ‘fireside’ chat with a large audience at a private event.

Sadly, the beginning of the year also brought the loss of several cherished friends of the College.

In early January, the 180-year-old beech tree in Bodley’s was removed after it became unsafe. The beautiful Shorthand story we shared online prompted a heartfelt response from NRMs, who sent in memories, photographs, and reflections. Some of the salvaged wood has been crafted into mementos — a way to honour the tree’s place in College life. We hope to commission some larger bespoke items in the future when the wood has seasoned.

We also mourned the passing of two remarkable members of our community. Peter Olney (KC 1950), a generous supporter, died at the end of January at the age of 93. It was a privilege to have known Peter and to speak at his funeral. A deeply private man, his quiet but profound connection to King’s came as a moving revelation to many of his oldest friends.

Robin Boyle (KC 1955), our third Fellow Benefactor, died in February aged 87. Robin’s deep love for the Choir was matched by his steadfast support for the conservation of the Chapel, the development of King’s Parade, and the building of our stunning new Boat House.

We are deeply grateful for their generosity, their vision, and the enduring legacy they leave behind at King’s.

In early April we were thrilled to announce that we have been able to purchase the ‘Delilah papers’ with a major donation from XTX Markets, Friends of the Nations’ Libraries, and further support from the National Heritage Memorial Fund. Following his ground-breaking work on the Enigma machines at Bletchley Park, in 1943 Alan Turing (KC 1931) turned to building a portable voice encoder for short-distance transmission to be used in military operations. The project was code-named ‘Delilah’. With the help of electrical engineer Donald Bayley they built a single prototype to encipher a speech for transmission via a telephone line or VHF radio link with accurate and complete reproduction at the other end.

During the development work at Hanslope Park, now the home of His Majesty’s Government Communications Centre, Turing and Bayley kept a logbook of their experimental results. Bayley also kept handwritten notes of lectures Turing gave to interested Hanslope Park engineers about the mathematics behind the project, along with loose pages of diagrams, calculations, explanations, and other electronic and mathematical theorems and problems.

Unpublished evidence of Alan Turing’s work has rarely survived, and the papers were at risk of leaving the country unless a UK institution or individual tried to purchase the items and retain them in the UK for the public to enjoy. We are grateful to our donors for supporting us in acquiring these notebooks which will be added to our Turing Collection in the Archives.

Sydney Brenner (KC 1959) was one of the greatest biologists of the 20^th century. He played a hugely significant role in the early days and development of molecular biology, and in an extraordinary career spanning more than 60 years and three continents was a major influence and inspiration to countless scientists around the world. In 2002 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly with Robert Horvitz and John Sulston, for discoveries concerning ‘genetic regulate of organ development and programmed cell death’.

Born in South Africa, Sydney Brenner was appointed as a Fellow of King’s in 1959 and remained deeply involved in the fortunes of the College throughout his life. In fact, his daughter Carla confirmed that Sydney had his ‘eureka’ moment around the discovery of messenger RNA during a conversation with Francis Crick in his room in Gibbs – E2 – which is now the Development Office!

Sydney Brenner died in Singapore in 2019, and since then many in the College have been thinking about how best to honour him. He believed strongly in supporting young scientists and giving them independence to pursue their research; in the last few months of his life he created the Sydney Brenner Charitable Trust to support young scientists from disadvantaged regions, especially in Africa and Asia, to gain research experience in top class laboratories.

After a conversation with the Sydney Brenner Charitable Trust, which includes Sydney’s daughter Carla Brenner, the College agreed with the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research (CIMR) and the Sydney Brenner Institute for Molecular Bioscience (SBIMB) at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, to work together to raise funds to establish a rolling programme of two Sydney Brenner Research Fellowships at King’s in molecular bioscience for talented young African researchers (their time will be split between SBIMB and Cambridge); and in the longer term, for a named Chair in the CIMR with a tied Fellowship to King’s College.

We are delighted to report that we have recently received a very generous gift from an alumna to establish the first of these Sydney Brenner Research Fellowships at King’s. This is an excellent start!

On 25 March we launched our new Middlesbrough centre in partnership with IntoUniversity — a vibrant and inspiring event attended by around 20 local schoolchildren (aged 7–18), their families, teachers, and members of the wider community. Joining us were NRMs originally from the North East, some of King’s students, the Admissions team, the Senior Tutor, Engineering Fellow Chez Hall, and our Head of Communications. The centre, staffed by four full-time team members, will offer after-school academic support, mentoring with university students and professionals, aspiration-raising workshops in schools, and enrichment and work experience opportunities — all designed to help young people reach their potential.

Middlesbrough is in the lowest decile on the Index of Multiple Deprivation, with a local progression rate into higher education of just 20%, compared to 44% nationally. This makes it a vital location for our outreach efforts. The alumni who attended were thrilled to return to the region and celebrate this important new initiative — one that promises to make a lasting difference in the lives of young people in Middlesbrough. I found the event very moving and could not have been prouder of the College at that moment.

On 23 April two NRMs hosted a private dinner for 30 guests at the Natural History Museum. The evening began with an exclusive tour of the new Evolution Garden, led by the NRM Director of the Natural History Museum, offering guests a behind-the-scenes look at this inspiring new space. Dinner followed in the stunning new Garden Room, with the Provost and Senior Tutor in attendance. The impact was immediate with several of the guests expressing interest in becoming more involved with King’s. We’re grateful to our hosts and guests for making the evening such a success — and for helping to build momentum behind our mission to support students, research, and the College community.

On 8 May we welcomed Sandi Toksvig OBE for our annual Turing Lecture — and what an evening it was. Speaking to a packed Keynes Lecture Theatre, Sandi delivered a captivating talk that ranged from gender bias to playful experiments with AI, concluding with a heartfelt toast to Alan Turing himself. After the lecture, she took time to meet with guests and students in the bar. The evening continued with a private dinner, which proved to be one of the most spirited Turing Dinners we’ve hosted — full of lively conversation and shared enthusiasm for Turing’s legacy.

We’re delighted to share that the Gatsby Charitable Foundation has generously offered a donation to support the Entrepreneurship Lab (E-Lab) at King’s with a new post, as well as the creation of a long awaited flexible-use space. This new addition is greatly needed and will not only enhance Chetwynd Court but also help ease ongoing challenges around room bookings and provide much-needed versatility for teaching, collaboration, and events.

Our thanks as ever go to the Provost and Fellowship for their unerring support; to the Archivists for producing a range of fascinating exhibitions for events and special visitors, and to all the College staff for their work behind the scenes. In recognition of outstanding philanthropy and support for the College, we are delighted to have elected one new Fellow Benefactor and ten new Fellow Commoners. We thank them for their generosity, and in addition we thank all those who have given their time, advice, support and help in so many ways; we had 85 volunteers this year! Special thanks go to the members of the Campaign Advisory Board: Sarah Legg, Ian Jones, Francis Cuss, Mike Carrell, Chris Hodson and Alexandra Addison Wrage; to the Entrepreneurship Competition Judging Panel: Jonathan Adams, Gemma Chandratillake, Megan Donaldson, Hermann Hauser, Stuart Lyons, Malcolm McKenzie, Gerry Mizrahi, Kamiar Mohaddes, Adrian Suggett, Shai Vyakarnam and Sophie Pickford; to those on the Senior Advisory Board of the Entrepreneurship Lab: Malcolm McKenzie, Jonathan Adams, Luke Alvarez, Tim Flack, Penelope Herscher, Stuart Lyons, Sheelpa Patel and Diarmuid O’Brien; and to those on the Investment Committee: Paul Aylieff, Mark Gilbert, Martin Taylor and Ian Kelson.
