Ben Edgar-Spier
Sykes Holiday Cottages
Head of regulation and policy
I have worked in regulatory, international, public, human rights and child law at ActionAid International, Coram Children's Legal Centre, in local government, the Government Legal Department and now Sykes. I am passionate about developing and implementing sound policy and increasing opportunity for all through:
- advising and working with social workers, policy officials, ministers and other stakeholders ;
- writing speeches for high profile stakeholders and producing activists' guides;
- legislating; and
- advocating in court.
In my spare time I co-founded Spier's, a catering company turning over £1 million as the pandemic struck.... It survived and now thrives again!
““It’s always a pleasure to be here. It’s not my first time. It’s always a great forum to discuss with all the other industry professionals and to meet the investors and the technology providers, as well as see familiar faces. Overall, it is a great event that we attend every year. We are also the app sponsor and we are very happy about that. For sure, we will be back.”
