Endorsements from Business Entrepreneurs

Gemma Stone

Gemma Stone is the founder of Rock and Ruby. She sees herself as “probably part of the smallest statistic of entrepreneurs - under 30, female, mother of two, without a degree.”

As a teenager, Gemma always dreamt of running her own business and in early 2004, aged 27, circumstances gave her the opportunity. She had worked at Granada Television for ten years, when the company announced its merger with Carlton Television. Told that her position as an events manager did not exist in the new company, she took redundancy in her stride and decided that it was an opportune moment to set up her own company. Gemma invested her redundancy money along with her savings; and with her partner Steve, set up Rock and Ruby.

Since launching the business, Gemma has

seen it go from strength to strength, organising

ceremonies for the South Bank Awards, the

What the Papers Say Awards and the Startups

Awards. Rock and Ruby has gained an

impressive list of clients, ranging from Tesco to

the London Film Festival.
