BRANDS WE HAVE WORKED WITH
"The Diverse Business Summit has been incredible! A fabulous way for small businesses to increase their knowledge and increase their capacity for more. To learn the tips, tools and tactics that will be required to scale their business and to contribute to the economy, to contribute to the community and to contribute to society.”
Claudine Reid MBE Social Entrepreneur and Chair of the Advisory Committee, Lloyd Banking Group
"Michelle, the event is amazing. This is what I’ve been looking to support. Next year I’ll be changing my sponsorship strategy and I’d like to talk in February about this event next year. I am not known for not giving praise easily so when I, halfway through the event, write an email to say this is amazing it means the event for me was a 20 out of 10. It’s not about the production quality (which was fantastic by the way) it is about the quality of content and the authenticity in the room and both were fantastic."
Krystle SandsProcurement & Supplier Diversity Leader, META
”Congratulations on a fantastic event. It was joyous and such a pleasure to be involved with. The delegates were amazing as were all the guest speakers – thank you for inviting me to take part. I thought everything was really well executed – your crew were extremely attentive and I was so well looked after. The talks and masterclasses were fantastic too."
Thanh CatachanasHead of Collaboration and Acquisition at JCDecaux
"I am so impressed with what you have accomplished. At first when you approached us with the idea, we were skeptical but you have pulled it off and this is possibly one of the best events of this kind that I have attended. We are proud to be your headline sponsors and support the work you are doing in this space to uplift diverse voices."
Jay RohmanHead of IT Sourcing at Lloyds Banking Group
