History?
The idea and inspiration for Aston Entrepreneurs came in 2008 when George Kitchen, a 1st Year Management and Strategy student at Aston University, felt that such a prestigious Business School provided little support for student enterprise.
An Executive Committee for the new society, that was to aim to change this, was formed in May 2009 with 20 members including a president, George Kitchen, and two vice presidents, Scott Taylor and Richard Leksell, all 1st Year students.
