Evelyn McDonald

Growth Fund Manager, The Prince’s Scottish Youth Business Trust, Opportunity & Enterprise

I have been involved with PSYBT since it began in July 1988 when, at 23, I was still young enough to have applied for funding! Twenty years later I am still involved as I remain gripped and enthused by what the Trust does and what it has achieved over the years.

I have had a number of roles from Regional Manager to Director of Operations but am currently in my favourite job managing the PSYBT’s Growth Fund which I set up with the current management team in 2002 and which has now helped 130 businesses with an investment of £1.6 million.

I met my husband at a PSYBT event and have two children, Holly, 8, and Alex, 6.
