UK Black Business Show

At the UK Black Business Show  hearing from fellow intrapreneurs about what it takes - persistence, creativity, curiosity, mentorship - love it!  Thanks Michael Adeniya for the opportunity to be a part of this uplifting event with The Mayor's Fund for London

#WeAreCGI and what an amazing time we had at the London UK Black Business Show. With over 400 visitors to our stand, our 14 strong team of CGI members from across the business talked about working life at CGI, our approach to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, and our commitment to being #UnconditionallyInclusive. Thanks to David Phillips & Farhad Bastani, we were also able to showcase our very own VR experience, which gave valuable insight into the impact and potential our work has on the world around us. We appreciate everyone who came to visit us, and the great conversation that was had - let's stay connected. Big thank you to Raphael Sofoluke, Shreeya Rash and the team for organising such a great event. It was truly inspiring, plus my wife, Farhad and I, loved how we got to 'buss two moves' at the after party too! #GenerationCGI #BlackBusinessShow #EDI #DEI #REACH

The UK Black Business Show on Saturday was just something special 🔥 If you’ve been following the event over the years, then you know the last day is the big one. One of the highlights for me on the day was seeing so many people I know that I met here on LinkedIn or at networking events this year. Saturday literally felt like one big family reunion. I got so many gems from the talks and sessions I attended, especially from Steven Bartlett where he talked about the importance of building a great culture at your place of work. A big shoutout once again to Raphael Sofoluke, Michael Adeniya, Renée Davis and the whole UK Black Business Show team for putting on such an amazing event 🥳 I can’t wait to be back next year and who knows, maybe I might be involved next time 🤔 #ukbbshow #networking #blackpoundreport

UK Black Business Show 💪🏿

In the fight for justice, we can never underestimate the power of coming together. Being around thousands of people who are all contributing to the same mission at the UK Black Business Show was so, so energising. Raphael & Michael - the power of what you are doing is incredible and it was both a joy and privilege to contribute. Renée, you smashed it and I’ve loved working with you in the lead up! One of my favourite things about the week & show is the number of young people that were present! Children below double-digits seeing a venue of thousands of black people in business? Incredible. Nurtured existing connections and fostered new ones. Absolutely loved it. 🖤

Looking back on Saturday and the chance to represent the Bank of England at the UK Black Business Show was truly rewarding. The event was exceptionally well-organised, and the vibrant atmosphere in the room was invigorating. It was a pleasure to engage with numerous individuals and witness a wide array of brands and businesses on full display.

Resilience and entrepreneurship. Wycliffe Sande and BLUE TURACO COFFEE are about to become the first African coffee brand to grace the shelves of Waitrose. We can't do his story justice but he's a living testament of what being resilient can achieve. Despite facing numerous challenges, he continues to persevere and grow. With a young family and full-time job, Wycliffe's story will inspire you to keep pushing and never give up. Don't miss him on the main stage at UK Black Business Show next month in conversation with Temi Ofong of HSBC and Ama Amo-Agyei of PLANTMADE #leaders #resiliance #mastersofscale
