We were welcomed by Kirstie MacGillivray, the CEO of Aegon Asset Management UK and the CFO of Aegon UK

We got to hear from senior people from various parts of the business including Investments, Distribution, Propositions, Operations, IT, Finance and Digital Marketing
All these presentations gave the participants a view into opportunities and inner workings of our partners and indeed the Asset Management industry
They also had the chance to:
✍🏽 Get one on one CV review from volunteers from across the business
🔗 Buddy with colleagues who gave them a walkthrough of the building and introduced them to various colleagues at their desk
💬 Get interview prep and best practice from Katie-Mairi King and Margaret Forrest
📢 Get public speaking and interview tips from Kyle Murtagh

Special thank you goes to Lindsay Hudson for taking up the initiative and making it happen 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Thank you to Katie-Mairi King, Margaret Forrest, Craig Barclay and dozens of colleagues who volunteered their time to help on the day, without whom the day won't have been a success

Thank you to my team members Onyinye, Benny and Joshua for coordinating from the Black Professionals Scotland perspective

Thank you to all the BPS members who participated on the day and I'm looking forward to hearing good news as a result of this initiative 💯

The future with our partners is truly exciting
