EVENTS – ‘Lets be Bolder about the Subject of Race’
Our next event will be in June 2024, The Ambassadors’ Voice. Many black, Asian, minority ethnic professionals talk openly about their love of our sector but their lack of belief in being able to ‘develop their careers inside it’. If you are interested in attending please email us.
I’ve worked in the sports marketing and sponsorship business for many years and f1 recruitment have always been there both for friendly advice, practical help and as a great connector of world class talent. Most recently we’ve re-engaged as a result of their work as a champion of diversity and inclusion – Amanda and her team continue to inspire action in our sector and are great supporters of the work I now do, both in my own business and as Chairman of The European Sponsorship Association.
