At BIE we are committed to creating a voice that raises the profile of social mobility as a key consideration within the executive search market. Our belief is that social mobility drives diverse hiring and helps our clients create more inclusive teams.

They both share the belief that meaningful support and sustainable careers offer the best hope for young people to master the challenges in front of them and build positive futures for themselves.
Throughout our partnership, we will be hosting a range of skills workshops, mentoring sessions and fundraising events which aim to equip young people with the key skills needed to enter the workplace and thrive throughout their careers.
If you would like to donate to this cause please use our fundraising page here. All donations will be split equally between Drive Forward Foundation and The Aldridge Foundation.
