Jonathan Holden

Jonathan Holden, graduate, and Chief Operating Officer at Molly Maid UK supported International Business Management students and Entrepreneurship & Innovation foundation year students with a visit to the City Campus earlier this year. Jonathan, who graduated from 51 in 1991 with a BTEC HND in Business Studies & Finance, has enjoyed a successful career in the business franchise industry, supporting print, fitness and now the cleaning services sector with Molly Maid, a £20 million turnover UK business. Jonathan is actively involved with students at Northumbria, through the provision of student lectures, mentoring and entrepreneurial support.

‘I can't remember a day outside of my regular professional schedule when I've felt more stimulated - I mean that sincerely. I really hope that I can remain linked to Northumbria University to provide personal and specialist franchising support and that I can maintain a regular annual visit to repeat my input.’
