In episode 21 of the Rising Edge D&O Podcast, Richard, Owen and Isabel are joined by James Wickes, partner at the law firm RPC, to discuss social mobility and what businesses in the financial services and legal sectors can do to drive change.

James took on the challenge of driving change himself when he founded Limitless London, a careers guidance programme which aims to level the playing field for young people from less privileged backgrounds.

Learn about the programme James has set up, the challenges he faced in setting it up, how he overcame those challenges, and you how to go about starting up and executing on such an initiative.

They find out what can be done to level the playing field, to attract the best talent, and to make the insurance industry a more diverse and inclusive place to work. And how organisations and individuals help to drive the change that is required.
