No Diversity, No Deal: Sixth Instalment

Sophie Randles recently held the sixth instalment in our ‘No Diversity, No Deal’ event series to discuss the importance of gender diversity around the boardroom and its correlation with business performance. However, as pointed out on the evening, perhaps the more pertinent question is where has diversity not delivered better performance / business results?

A huge thank you to Evelyn Partners and Foresight Group for sponsoring the event in partnership with Livingston James, and to Jane Stewart and Alison Fitzsimons for driving this important movement forward. Rupa Mooker was highly engaging and insightful as our speaker on the evening.

Please get in touch with Sophie should you want to sponsor our next event or partake in the movement.

You can see some of the events we have held and attended so far in 2024 on our events page. Please reach out to Sophie Randles to learn of any upcoming events.
