"Following initial scoping sessions with HDN we defined quickly Board sponsorship is crucial in driving any EDI programme. This resulted in an excellent interactive board session with HDN and Devonshires. It really helped us clarify our thinking, discuss the challenges secure sponsorship moving forward as a board and exec team. I would not hesitate to recommend this session to others.”

"A big thank you to HDN and Devonshires for the session that you delivered. We have had some really positive feedback from the board on how enjoyable and insightful they found it."
