Opening Doors – Advancing Social Mobility in Business
Date: Wednesday 18 June 2025
Location: Via the app
At Napthens, we passionately believe that a person’s life choices should not be determined by where they started and that is why, in 2024, we launched our very first social mobility strategy.
Join our very own Simon Price, as he outlines what Napthens have done in the last 12 months to boost social mobility in our business and in the legal profession. Available in a pre-recorded format, Simon will set out the business case for social mobility and explain how a clear strategy based around advocacy, outreach, access and progression can open doors to new talent for any business.
A Napthens core value is #bettertogether and this embodies the next step in our social mobility journey, working and collaborating with other businesses. Simon will outline how you can work with Napthens to unlock talent for your business.
