The Master Entrepreneur, Alderman Alastair King DL, welcomes members, guests, and guests of the Company to the 2026 Master's Weekend, which returns to the City of Cambridge from Friday 8th to Sunday 10th May. Given the highly intellectual environment of this ancient university town, the Master's Consort, Mrs Florence King, has devised a series of short academic sessions to fit around the usual gamut of social and sporting excursions that characterise the Master's Weekend. The question that we (with help from our friends at Judge Business School) will consider is: Why aren’t there enough scale-ups in the UK? The objective is to combine your lived entrepreneurial experience with a structured action research approach, producing practical insight rather than abstract debate. All timings and locations are subject to confirmation, but the outline programme is FRIDAY 8TH MAY * St Neots for factory and business tours (3pm-5pm) * Return to Cambridge * Cambridge for informal PAYG
