Arena event to explore harnessing power of diversity

Written by: Edward Waddell
Arena’s next event, which is taking place on Tuesday 20th September, will bring together a number of hospitality and foodservice leaders to discuss harnessing the power of diversity.

This event is for anyone working in the foodservice and hospitality sector either as a supplier to the industry or an operator within it. Attendees will also have the opportunity to catch up with existing and new industry colleagues to build those all-important business relationships.

Emma Langford, head of human resources and people development at Elior, is the latest speaker to join the line-up. She will be joining Nick Mackenzie, chief executive of Greene King Plc; Raj Jones, head of diversity, equity & inclusion at Sodexo UK & Ireland and Tevin Tobun, founder and chief executive of GV Group.

Topics that will be discussed include:

  • The importance of placing specific attention on creating initiatives and practices that enable a diverse and inclusive culture
  • How to empower and create self-belief in individuals, regardless of background
  • How diverse teams can lead to the power of thinking differently
  • The role of a management board in achieving a pathway to progress

After a drinks and canape reception as well as a three-course lunch, strategic advisor to the hospitality industry Anne Elliott will host keynote interview with Nick to explore how a diverse and inclusive workforce can bring about positive change within a company.
