The CBI speaks on behalf of 190,000 businesses. Together they employ nearly 7 million people, about one-third of the private sector-employed workforce. They believe that business has the power to do good. To make a difference. When the economy booms, society prospers, and every business plays a part in protecting and growing that economy. They create opportunities, build, innovate and cultivate a better future for the next generation. That’s the true purpose of business. And it's the CBI's purpose too.

The Association of British Insurers is the voice of the UK’s world-leading insurance and long-term savings industry. A productive, inclusive and thriving sector, our industry is helping Britain thrive with a balanced and innovative economy, employing over 300,000 individuals in high-skilled lifelong careers, two-thirds of which are outside of London.

"We have the opportunity to bring in a new generation of talent through this initiative. Our belief is simple: innovation, performance, and ultimately, fairness, all improve when teams are made up of people from diverse backgrounds with varying perspectives. Capstone is proud to be supporting and funding the creation of this programme."
