About
As Economic Development Manager, Jack is focused on supporting existing Basingstoke businesses to grow, enticing businesses to base themselves in the borough and, of course, supporting the local innovation ecosystem. Jack is passionate about providing the right opportunities for start-ups, entrepreneurs and innovators to learn, network and grow, and sees Venturefest South as a great way to help achieve this. Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council have been involved in the past three Venturefest South events and is looking forward to seeing more great outcomes this year.
Prior to working in local government, Jack worked across many roles in central government dealing with a wide range of policy issues – international trade, skills and labour market reform amongst them.
