The Power 100
We all love a list & the publication last week of the Brighton Power 100 is certainly going to be a talking point over the coming weeks. The man who chaired the 2018 selection Nick Taylor explains.
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 2018 Brighton Power 100 inductees. I was delighted to have been appointed to preside over the Brighton Power 100 for this year`s inaugural List. Brighton is a city very close to my heart having worked here as a lawyer for over 20 years. I have had the pleasure of working with and alongside many local businesses, entrepreneurs, charities and media personalities across film, music and sport who have in some way influenced the Brighton landscape. Brighton is a vibrant seaside resort known as “London by the sea” and made up of an eclectic community with a diverse architectural history from the traditional Royal Pavilion to the modern Brighton i360. It is therefore not surprising that the inaugural list is made up of individuals who have in some way left their mark on the city (both past and present ) from a broad spectrum of skill sets. Congratulations to this year’s inductees.
Brighton Power 100 is pleased to have teamed up with Brighton based The Starr Trust, as our charity of choice we hope to raise awareness for the work they are doing in supporting the next generation! We hope that through our partnership we will help enhance the work The Starr Trust carries out and one day we hope to see a young person they have supported on the Brighton power list.
Brighton Power 100 is encouraging everyone to support The Starr Trust’s CHAMPION A CHAMPION scheme, under the scheme individuals are invited to donate just £250 to inspire a young person to be the very best that they can be.
