David Bell (Secretary)
David Bell retired from a career in personnel management as Group Personnel Controller for TSB Group plc. During his career in the public and private sectors he had been a Vice-President of the (now) Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, chairing their National Committee for Manpower Planning, and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Manpower Society, of which he was a founder member.

Kerry provides training and consultancy in most aspects of equality and diversity. He has a particular interest in promoting equal pay and in tackling harassment and bullying at work.
Sally Hope
Sally Hope is a theatrical agent. She was a friend of David Wainwright and took a great interest in his work, as he did in hers.
Susanne Lawrence (Chair of Trustees)
Susanne Lawrence was a close friend of David Wainwright for nearly 20 years and, as editor of Personnel Management magazine for most of that time, she commissioned and edited much of his published work. Her own interest in the equal opportunities field dates back to the late 1960s: with former trustee Sue Corby she established the National Union of Journalists' first committee on women at work, she was co-founder and Hon Sec of the Equal Pay and Opportunity Campaign, which did much to awaken the interest of trade unions and employers in equal opportunities issues, she obtained sponsorship for and launched the first newsletter for the Employers Forum on Age and also still publishes one for the Employers Forum on Disability. She is currently deputy chairman of Personnel Publications Ltd (PPL) whose publications include the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development's People Management (formerly Personnel Management) and WorldLink, the newsletter of the World Federation of Personnel Management Associations.
Lord Lester of Herne Hill QC
Anthony Lester QC is a practising member of Blackstone Chambers and a Liberal Democrat Peer. He specialises in public and European human rights law and, as Special Adviser to the Home Secretary from 1974–76, he worked on what became the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 and the Race Relations Act 1976. More recently he introduced two Private Members' Bills in the Lords to incorporate the European Human Rights Convention into UK law. He has argued many leading cases (on discrimination inter alia) before English, European and Commonwealth courts. President of INTERIGHTS (the International Centre for the Legal Protection of Human Rights), he has published numerous books and articles on constitutional law and human rights. A longstanding friend of David Wainwright, in 1984 he wrote a guide to the workings of the equal pay for work of equal value regulations with him.

TMS is Europe's longest-established equal opportunities consultancy — evidence of David's pioneering status in the field. Lorraine is a recognised authority on equality and diversity who has worked with countless clients during the last 20 years. She spends much of her time working with Boards and Executive Committees in organisations in the UK and Europe. Lorraine has continued David's particular commitment to equal pay.

In the 1970s, together with David Wainwright, he was one of the founders of the Equal Pay and Opportunity Campaign, and they became close professional and personal friends. Editor of Industrial Relations Law Reports since 1972, he has also co-edited Equal Opportunities Review since its launch in 1985. He wrote the expert report on sexual harassment for the European Commission and drafted its Code of Practice on the subject; and acted as legal adviser to the Disability Rights Commission on revision of the Code of Practice on provision of goods and services. He has acted as a consultant to the UN, ILO, World Bank, EC and OECD.

He is also a partner in a successful photographic agency Smile Management. and is in demand from all areas of the fashion industry. Although Keith and David pursued such diverse careers they remained close and each took an active part in the working and social life of the other. In particular, David had a strong interest in the theatre and many of Keith's clients were and are actors.
