Through Simone’s career, she has developed a specialist network of impactful men and women and curate a portfolio of campaigns, events, and podcasts that reach globally.
In 2018, the Queen’s Birthday Honours awarded Simone with an MBE for services to gender equality. Simone was later appointed Lieutenant Commander in the Royal Navy in June 2020, to be promoted to captain in July 2021.
On the news, Siobhan Atkinson, Chief Executive of the Town Foundation commented: “We are thrilled to have Simone on board for what is set to be a fantastic afternoon highlighting the Foundation’s important work and raising vital funds.
“I know she will bring a bundle of energy to the role and look forward to seeing her meet and engage with our supporters.”
Sponsoring ‘Fizz Friday’
Huddersfield Town Foundation is still looking for a Headline Sponsor and Drinks Sponsor. Being a headline sponsor would include benefits such as a table of 10 at the lunch, their logo being on all printed material, PR opportunities and wine with lunch.
