Emma Egging

Emma is best known for founding the Jon Egging Trust (JET) in 2012, following the death of her husband, a Red Arrows pilot, in 2011 in a tragic accident. Emma is the Chief Executive Officer of the charity, which operates UK-wide and supports 10,000 young people each year to overcome adversity and be the best they can be. JET works with organisations linked to aviation, engineering and science and develops young people’s teamwork and leadership skills through its Blue Skies and Inspirational Outreach programmes. Before setting up the charity, Emma was a project director at the British Museum as part of the Community Partnerships team, which included working with vulnerable young people aged 13–26.
