Industry insider sessions enrichening occupiers’ knowledge

News / 5 Feb 2025

A new series of industry insider events, called Silverstone Sessions, is providing added value for Silverstone Park business occupiers.

The monthly events invite industry experts to present to occupiers within an hour, increasing their awareness of hot topics that may affect their business.

Sessions already held (inside Silverstone Park’s Innovation Centre) have focused on cyber security and brand building.

Oscor O’Connor, an internationally renowned cyber security expert, talked attendees through the steps and options required to improve protecting against digital attacks against their businesses.

Prior to that, award-winning film documentary maker Michael Fox gave advice on how companies can give their promotional and online video content additional meaning and ‘wow factor’.

The next event, moving to the exciting new Escapade development inside the neighbouring Silverstone Circuit, will look at new provisions for employers such as prevention of sexual harassment in the work place and driving inclusivity through recognising unconscious bias.

Presenting will be Park occupier ActifHR and Silverstone Technology Cluster member The Right Track Consultancy, specialists in employment law and early careers development respectively.

Silverstone Park Marketing Manager Chantal-Lawren Welch said:

“They’re having a big impact too – both upskilling staff and creating extra opportunities to network with like-minded businesses – which is what being part of our campus is all about.

“The latest feedback from these events found 100% of respondents would recommend the sessions and rated them as ‘very important’ to their businesses.”
