Compass Conference

One Society invited me to speak at a panel named after the campaign along with Bill Kerry from the Equality Trust, Bronwyn McKenna from Unison and MP Karen Buck. I'll think there's an audio recording of the panel knocking around somewhere that I'll put up if I get it.

I would have to work for nearly 380 years to earn as much as Adam Crozier earned last year.
