‘I’m proud to be part of an agency that puts diversity and inclusion at the heart of everything it does, from internal practices and culture to client consultancy,’ said Athwal. ‘So much so that MWW worked with me to create the new UK Head of Purpose role. With this new focus, there are new clients, relationships and projects already well underway, and we will be introducing lots of new initiatives from our team over the coming months so watch this space!’
