Mark Prisk MP

Mark Prisk MP, Minister of State for Business & Enterprise, visited the University on Thursday 3 February as part of his visit to meet with the Thames Valley Berkshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP).

The Minister was greeted by the Vice-Chancellor and David Gillham, Director of Research & Enterprise at the University, who offered him an overview of the institution's enterprise activities, including our involvement in the Thames Valley Berkshire LEP.

The Minister then toured the new Henley Business School building with Professor Ginny Gibson, Deputy Dean of the Business School. The Minister is a Reading alumnus, having studied land management here in the 1980s, and was very interested in the considerable changes that have taken place on campus in the intervening period.
