Alumni Entrepreneur Network

The Alumni Entrepreneur Network is the brainchild of 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 then generously donated one of these memberships to the SRUC alumni community so that an annual Alumni Entrepreneur Network Awards event could be held 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
