“We’re delighted to welcome both Ash and Jack to YMU Entertainment,” said YMU Managing Director of Global Entertainment Lucy Loveridge. “Ash is a brilliant content creator, broadcaster and undoubted star of the future and Jack’s blend of quick wit, political passion and positivity bring a new depth to our growing roster of talented performers, presenters and creators. We can’t wait to get started.”
For YMU, the signings closely follow those of Michael Dapaah, Grace Beverley and Leomie Andersen, as the company pushes further into the influencer space.
“I truly cannot believe I get to do what I love for a living,” said Holme. I have met some amazing people so far on my journey and I have achieved goals that I thought were impossible. I am beyond excited to announce my signing with YMU. I know that with their guidance and knowledge I can continue to grow, learn and of course have some fun and foolery along the way… world domination pending.”
Jack said: “I feel so fortunate with the trajectory of my career at the moment and know that YMU is absolutely the best place to continue that growth in a field I love so much.”
Loveridge’s Global Entertainment division last month hired Steven Bartlett’s former manager, Lauren Clark, from InterTalent to be a director.
Loveridge has led the unit since March, when she was upped from MD of YMU Social following the exit of YMU Entertainment MD Holly Bott in 2023. Bott has since launched management firm Little Arrow, as we first reported in July, taking The Traitors and Strictly Come Dancing presenter Claudia Winkleman with her.
