We have lost a national treasure. The breadth of his poetry, from the serious & profound to the silly & fun, meant that no one could leave an encounter with Professor Benjamin Zephaniah without a deeper sense of the power & beauty of our language.
What a treat to join Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire & West Yorkshire Combined Authority to launch the Fair Work Charter this morning at University of Bradford.
Employers of all sizes & sectors are backing it.
Proud to have led TPXimpact | B Corp™’s co-design work with SMEs to make it relevant, accessible & impactful.
Great news for public participation in policy making. Well done Miriam Levin & Polly Curtis.

Thought I could outsmart the inevitable TransPennine Express delays & cancellations between Leeds & Manchester by leaving *an hour* earlier than required this morning.
But, of course, hubris calls for nemesis. So I’m wasting that hour on platform 16 waiting for a train.
