Join us at The Atrium for a thought-provoking panel discussion on the journey to becoming a B-Corp, and what it really means to build a business that balances purpose with profit. Our panel brings together founders who are leading positive change in their industries, sharing the challenges and opportunities of embedding sustainability, accountability and community at the heart of their work.

Hosted by interiors journalist, Roddy Clarke, you’ll hear from Rob Abrahams, Co-Founder of COAT Paints, the challenger brand rethinking the paint industry with conscious choices from day one; Emer Gillespie, Founder of Spark & Bell, a Brighton-based lighting design studio driven by purpose and sustainability; and Louisa Ziane, Co-Founder of Toast Brewing, where she leads the company’s mission to tackle food waste while ensuring people, planet and profit remain at the core. Together, they will explore how businesses can act responsibly for people and planet while inspiring their sectors to do better.

Reduced price tickets

We want to make the events as accessible as possible. We know how hard things are for some people right now and we want to do what we can to help. To help people who might find cost or other challenges a barrier to attending, we have a limited number of reduced price tickets for every event.

Accessibility information

The Atrium is located in an old industrial building that does not have an accessible toilet or dedicated baby change facilities. We recognise that this is a significant barrier and does not reflect the welcoming, inclusive space we wish to offer. We wish this were not the case and are truly sorry if this prevents you from joining us for an event.

Additional Information

The Atrium retail store will be open 30 minutes before and after the event, selling a range of beautiful furnishings, homewares, gifts and beauty. All proceeds from this event and from sales are in aid of Furnishing Futures charity and go directly towards our work creating healing homes for survivors of domestic abuse.
