The Team Around the Table: A CRE Podcast

Prior to establishing SBT, Adele built her reputation as a social entrepreneur through CAN (Community Action Network). In 2006, she was made an MBE for services to social enterprises, and a year later she also won the Sieff Prize for her collaboration with business in pursuit of social benefit.
