Talent talks: What the Grenfell Tower tragedy can tell us about the state of corporate diversity and inclusion
When the Grenfell Tower tragedy occurred, I felt devastated. That’s where I am from, that’s my community. However, I was knocked sideways when the next day, I went into my corporate workplace and someone said ‘Surely they must have home insurance?’
Scale up what works, and switch off what doesn’t.
Having data will give you the confidence to switch off initiatives that aren’t having an impact. You’ll also spot things that might be working. With the data behind you, you’ll be able to keep these conversations evidence-based and action focussed.

Our Leaders
Emily Shenton
Director / Co Founder
Although I started my career in marketing at Unilever, my great passion is enabling diverse young talent and our corporate partners to see beyond superficial differences and connect in ways that transforms everyone involved. Whatever age, or stage of life, whether 1-to-1, or in a group, it is such a privilege to enable people to overcome barriers, see new possibilities and produce results that they didn’t think were possible.
Daniel Snell
Director / Co Founder
I was born in Scotland, grew up in the Lake District and moved to London in 1991. After obtaining a degree, I worked, after a fashion, at Thomson Reuters, among other businesses. I am immensely proud of what Arrival Education has achieved, the team and their impact on the talent and on the leaders of business in the last decade. Currently, my central focus is leadership, strategy and sales.
