TALK: Guildhall Black History Month Reception

  • Guildhall 71 Basinghall Street London, England, EC2V 7HH United Kingdom (map)

To celebrate Black History Month, join Deputy Andrien Meyers, Chair of the City of London Investment Committee, in conversation with Gavin Lewis, BlackRock Managing Director and author of The Opportunity Index: A Solution-Based Framework to Dismantle the Racial Wealth Gap and Tim Campbell MBE, BBC Apprentice winner and founder of Bright Ideas Trust, a social enterprise which helps young entrepreneurs from disadvantaged backgrounds start businesses.

This event is invitation only and places are strictly limited. Any organisation in the City of London is welcome to nominate two representatives to attend. We will send out formal invitations to those nominated, dependent on capacity.

Find out more and nominate representatives here.

In his latest book The Opportunity Index, Gavin Lewis, skilfully plots the origins of the racial wealth gap and its impact on the inequalities faced by the Black community today. Weaving a personal and at times moving narrative through some of the most disruptive events of our time, he offers a blueprint for businesses and individuals to understand the risks and opportunities presented by inequality and issues an urgent call to action.
