Simons Muirhead Burton sponsor Creative Access steering group initiative

Simons Muirhead Burton is proud to sponsor Creative Access’s Trustee Steering Group, a program designed to equip future charity trustees with essential skills and experiences.

This partnership includes financial support, use of our central London office, and guidance from our in-house experts on legal governance.

Josie Dobrin, Executive Chair, Creative Access said: “Our community have a huge amount of skills and energy to offer to leadership teams of commercial and not-for-profit organisations.  All too often, job descriptions require applicants to have experience for non-executive roles, so we are thrilled that by having created this leadership pathway, we are removing obstacles for progression and that so many of the group have already secured non-executive roles. We are indebted to Simons Muirhead Burton for their huge and invaluable support of this programme.”

Partner, Peter Weiss, who jointly heads SMB’s Corporate, Commercial & Finance team and also sits on the Creative Access advisory board said: “There are many synergies between the work and values of both Creative Access and Simons Muirhead Burton. We are delighted to be able to sponsor this important initiative which will create a pipeline of candidates from communities that are under-represented at non-executive level, who will help organisations to innovate, future-proof decision-making and better reflect the organisations in which they serve.”
