Barry Clegg, Lily said, “As a long-term supporter of One In A Million Lily was proud to once again be a key sponsor of their very well-attended Charity business lunch. Alongside a great networking event and chance to continue to support OIAM it was pleasing to hear about the economic and cultural opportunities that 2025 and beyond holds for the wider Bradford business community as City of Culture 2025”.

Manraj Mand, Quantuma said, “My colleague Rehan Ahmed and I had the pleasure of attending the One In A Million Charity Lunch at the Midland Hotel in Bradford, attended by our valued guests. Quantuma has proudly supported One In A Million Charity for several years, and it’s always inspiring to witness the incredible initiatives they lead and the lasting impact they make in the community. It’s also encouraging to see Bradford continuing its journey of growth, an underrated city full of potential and ambition, steadily building a bright future. Thanks to our guests for attending and a special mention to my good friend Matthew Dakin for promoting all things Bradford!”.
