Joint Heads of the D&I collective Xi Yin Chen, Luke Alexander Grose and Lynsey Monroe were announced as Talent Management Team of the Year and the Campaign Awards.

Xi, Luke & Lynsey have shown their incredible passion for ensuring that anyone with drive and talent has an equal and fair chance to access and progress in our industry. From working closely with Chief Strategy Officer, Michael Lee and Executive Creative Director Jim Thornton on bringing the VCCP Stoke Academy to life to ensuring support throughout for VCCP’s entry level programmes, Xi, Luke and Lynsey have built a robust programme that has fostered a true culture of belonging at VCCP.

The trio were also commended for their relentless embedding of D&I into learning and staff development at VCCP, through educational D&I written features and cultural pieces, resources, inspirational talks, training sessions on topics such as trans awareness, inclusive design, disability in advertising, and many more.
