I'm thrilled and honoured to have been appointed as one of the Government's Social Mobility Commissioners.
Every person in the UK, regardless of their age, background, race or religion should have the chance to go as far in life as their aspiration, ability, and hard work can take them. It is an immense privilege to be able to work to ensure people have the platform to get on in life.
I'm looking forward to working with the brilliant Social Mobility Commission team to ensure everybody has the freedom to fulfil their full potential and that we work towards equality of opportunity.
