A Crash isn’t just the collective noun for a group of rhinoceros. It’s also the name of our new Equality, Diversity & Inclusivity (EDI) team, committed to making our business, and the wider world, a better, fairer, more enlightened place. Although EDI is an organic part of our culture and how we constantly challenge and evolve, there’s room – and an obligation – to go further and disrupt stereotypes; to shatter the norm.

Who puts the maverick thinking into The Maverick Group? Who banishes mediocrity by coaxing extra creative brilliance from achingly talented teams? Meet Jamie Bell, one of the beacons of originality who lights up the soul of our business.

Earlier this year, the Maverick crew voted to make Refuge our second charity partner, in addition to the Felix Project. To find out more about Refuge and its vital work for women and children, we caught up with Jess Carmody, the charity’s Senior Community Fundraising Executive.

As part of The Maverick Group’s CSR programme for 2021, we are delighted to introduce one of our charity partners for the year – The Felix Project. To find out a little more about the charity’s work, we spoke to Louise Bingham, Corporate Partnerships Manager at The Felix Project, to get her take on this incredibly worthy cause, and how The Maverick Group will be able to help.
