The inspiration behind the network
The Alumni Entrepreneur Network has been inspired by Bill Dingwall, retired SRUC Agriculture Programme Leader and Steven Mitchell, a former student who founded The Buffalo Farm in Fife in 2005. In Steven’s pursuit to become the first Scottish producer of buffalo mozzarella, he set up a crowdfunding campaign with various levels of 'Founders Club' membership. Bill very generously donated one of these to the SRUC alumni community, so that we may hold an annual Alumni Entrepreneur Network prize-winners event at Steven’s Boglily Farm. “The aim of the Alumni Entrepreneur Network is to encourage the sharing of experiences among members, and engagement with SRUC staff and students.” Bill Dingwall
