As part of our ‘Packed Lunch’ lunch and learn series we welcomed Tom Armstrong and Jed Hallam from Common People to our London Office.

Common People is a community for people within creative industries with experience of being from a Working Class background. They started in the summer of 2021 after reading a report which found that only 16% of people working full time in the creative industries are from a Working Class background. They aim to address this imbalance through talks, consultancy and connecting good people.

It’s only May and 2023 has already been a whirlwind. Especially if you are in the world of tech.

Last year we dedicated ourselves to trying to understand the big narratives around tech that appear in the media and more broadly in society. The prevailing one being negative - tech as a runaway train rushing through our lives and reshaping our culture for the worst.

There is a well known history of homogeneity in the tech industry. Thankfully many of our clients and other tech companies are focused on diversifying their workforces.

At Across the Pond we know how important good representation is in our work, and for that reason we were compelled to create a series, profiling amazing women in tech. These female leaders are all key players in their businesses. We are celebrating their individuality, their experiences and their wisdom in conversations with female leaders here at Across the Pond.

We’re happy to announce that Across the Pond is now a Certified B Corporation!
