Dear Penny,
Thanks so much for the helpful email and the contact details for Stephen Deveraj.
Your event also sounds very interesting. We were thinking that we would need to
involve International Office, Equality & Diversity and Training & Development in
organising and having input into an event of this kind. I will let you know what
happens!
With all best wishes
Fehmeeda
