Cranfield University's Bettany Centre presents: Entrepreneurship Speaker Series with Nick Jenkins

Nick Jenkins attended the MBA programme at Cranfield in 1998-99 following an eight-year career as a commodity trader with Glencore in Moscow. As part of the entrepreneurship course, he developed a business plan for a personalised greeting card retailer. In July 1999 Nick registered Moonpig.com and started trading. After five years of losses and several rounds of fundraising, the business finally turned a profit in 2005. The business then grew to five million customers in 2011 before Nick sold most of his stake. Moonpig floated in 2021 and has a current market cap of £700 million.
