Professor Chris Mullard CBE, DL Hon LLD
Professor Chris Mullard is co-founder of Focus Consultancy, a company dedicated to diversity recruitment, training, research and change management. Established in 1986, in the twenty-one years of its existence it has expanded its operations nationally and internationally.
One of its recent larger clients is the Paris based-company L’Oreal, where Focus is presently providing consultancy services and training to senior management teams in 24 countries. Another of Focus’s contracts involves consultancy work for the Borders & Immigration Agency at the Home Office.
One of Focus’s many achievements has been an increase in the level of ethnic minority candidates recruited into the British Army, from less than one per cent to over eight per cent. There are certainly a lot more Black faces among the guards at Buckingham Palace today.
Describing the essence of Focus, Mullard says: “It’s about acknowledging diversity in terms of its crucial impact on both social and economic structures. Today, we have a diverse globalised market place which includes people who are Black, Asian, disabled and gay. So it’s not just about training people about the Disability Act or Race Relations Act – we’ve moved into diversity training on a global scale as an indispensable management tool.” Focus Consultancy is by no means Mullard’s only success. He is also Chairman of the Bernie Grant Trust, and for the past six years he has been Chairman of London Notting Hill Carnival. Furthermore, he is Founder and Patron of the Slavery Memorial Trust.
