NEW EVENT TO SHOW BUSINESS OWNERS HOW TO GET CORPORATE CONTRACTS

Businesswoman and committed Christian, Michelle Raymond, is playing her part to economically empower the Black community and beyond by hosting and launching her first Diverse Business Summit (DBS) on November 10.

The Summit aims to provide a platform for business owners from diverse communities to connect with corporate organisations and introduce themselves with an alternative approach to securing contracts, bypassing traditional tendering processes.

Organisation that will be present at DBS include Lloyds Banking Group, Meta, Moodys, JCDecaux, Ernst & Young, University College of London (UCL), The Financial Ombudsman, Sky and Diageo. Speakers include financial expert Emmanuel Asuquo, and Claudine Reid MBE.

Michelle is founder of The People’s Partner, an HR and coaching consultancy. She is passionate about seeing small businesses win. She told Keep The Faith: “I am hosting this event because I saw there was a widening gap between diverse business owners and large organisations. Diverse business owners are the perfect solution to the ESG and sustainable needs of corporates, but we don’t have access or visibility.

My aim through this event is to raise the visibility, market readiness, and social mobility of diverse businesses in the UK especially, so that they can effectively sell their services and products to corporate organisations.”
