We build industry-leading proprietary systems that enable our teams to go faster. We are independent and manage our own capital alongside that of our investors. We are fuelled by the challenge of sustaining success over a very long time.

We signed up to taking practical steps to ensure their workplaces are tackling barriers that ethnic minority people face in recruitment and progression and that their organisations are representative of British society today.

While all presenters identified as a woman, nonbinary or gender non-conforming, members of all gender identities were invited to attend.
