Inside the Cultivate Sponsorship Program with Richard & Paige.

written by

We are proud to partner with AECOM, an industry leader in its commitment to diversity and gender equality.  

CEO Richard Barrett recognises that a gender-diverse workforce is a key to having a vibrant culture and innovative business. Having been a sponsor for three years now himself, Richard reflects “how powerful sponsorship opportunities are for everyone”. 

We spoke to Richard and his sponsee Paige Quinn about their collective Cultivate sponsorship experience and the difference the program has made in both their lives. 

According to Paige, she has taken up an opportunity in a new role since the program ended. “With Richards encouragement and ongoing belief in my talent, I developed the confidence to take on this new challenge, and I am enjoying it”.
