We’re thrilled to welcome three fantastic speakers who will share how CSR shapes their company culture, strengthens community ties, and drives meaningful impact:
Jimmy Cockerton – Founder & CEO, Impact Advantage
Jimmy is passionate about helping businesses unlock the power of purpose. With a background in both social enterprise and corporate leadership, he brings a wealth of experience in developing strategies that align profit with positive social change.

Jessie Walker – PR & Marketing Manager, KS Composites
Jessie will share how KS Composites created a powerful sense of purpose through a single, large-scale annual CSR initiative. She’ll explore how their flagship charity event which supports Rainbows, not only raises vital funds but also unites employees, clients, and the broader community around a shared cause. Discover how one well-executed event can deliver lasting impact, boost brand reputation, and bring teams closer together.
Jenn Platt – Senior Manager – Project Office, DHL Aviation Ltd.
Jenn’s session will highlight how understanding your team is key to creating meaningful and effective CSR initiatives. Drawing from her experience leading DHL’s “As One Against Cancer” campaign and championing the company’s partnership with Rainbows Hospice, Jenn will introduce DHL’s “Wheel of Purpose” and explain how tailoring CSR efforts to the passions and strengths of your people can drive engagement, loyalty, and long-term success.
