Join us for what promises to be an evening filled with fun as the public safety sector come together for an evening of celebration.
The evening will commence with a drinks reception, followed by a stunning three-course meal, guest speaker, networking and entertainment. The Premier Lounge at Coventry Building Building Society Arena is the perfect setting to welcome over 350 leading lights from across the Critical Communications industry.
After losing her legs in the Circle Line bombing during the 2005 London terrorist attacks, Martine Wright rebuilt her life with remarkable purpose. From skydiving and becoming a mother and wife to becoming the Captain of the British Paralympic sitting volleyball team and earning a pilot’s license, Martine epitomises overcoming adversity.
Representing Team GB at the London 2012 Paralympic Games, she has become a widely recognized television personality, covering events like the Paralympics and Invictus Games for the BBC and Channel 4, and serving as a roving reporter at the 2016 Rio Paralympics. Her dedication has been honoured with the 2012 Sports Personality of the Year, recognition as one of the Inspirational Women of the Year by Zest Magazine, and as a Vitalise Woman of Achievement.
In June 2016, Martine was appointed MBE, and her bestselling book “Unbroken” won Autobiography of the Year at the 2018 Sports Book Awards.
Martine’s Mantra is that of Pablo Picasso… “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”
Through her compelling story and refreshingly honest approach, Martine inspires audiences with lessons in Resilient Leadership, embrace growth mindset, foster a culture of belonging, seize opportunities, embrace change, prioritise teamwork and pursue continuous improvement.
