Taylor Bennett Foundation

Taylor Bennett is committed to equal opportunities at work. Our mandate is quite simply to find the best person for a job. We oppose discrimination on grounds of age, gender, sexuality, disability, religious belief, race or ethnicity.

In public relations and corporate communications, people from black and minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds are under-represented. One reason for this is that talented BAME people are rarely encouraged to consider working in this field or provided with the skills and knowledge to do so.

We set up the Taylor Bennett Foundation in 2008, a unique 10 week programme for BAME graduates to encourage them to make a career in communications. All Taylor Bennett employees contribute time to the Foundation, including mentoring, discipline particular training sessions and logistics, and are assessed on their contribution each year.

Taylor Bennett won the 2012 Business in the Community Race for Opportunity Collaboration and Partnership Award for its establishment and continued development of the Taylor Bennett Foundation. In 2010 the programme won the 2010 Dragon Award for Social Inclusion, a prize conferred by the Corporation of the City of London.
