Our Women's Sport Group hosted its inaugural event: 'Women's Sport: Moving the Conversation Forward' in the London office earlier this year. Speakers covered a range of topics key to the future growth, development, and sustainability of women's sport, including commercial, financial, regulatory and brand protection issues. The event concluded with a fireside chat between Co-Head of the Women's Sports Group, Georgie Twigg MBE, and special guest Dame Katherine Grainger DBE, where Dame Katherine shared some fascinating insights into her sporting career and role as Chair of UK Sport.
