He understood that the power of the visits was not just in seeing and believing but also in how to turn that experience into ‘doing’. \nOver 25\,000 business leaders have taken part in visits\, each designed to show the unique contribution business can make when working in partnership with others on an issue or in a community. By thinking strategically about the implications for their business\, the visit gives a different understanding of the long-term impact and benefit that can be delivered for both business and communities. \n \nAbout The Prince’s Seeing is Believing Council\nOn behalf of HM The King The Prince’s Seeing is Believing Council is continuing to ensure that the values and the prestige of the programme are maintained and sustained. \nThe Council comprises influential and respected business leaders who have attended and led more than three visits and have been personal advocates for the programme’s power to drive action. \nCouncil members: \n\nChair: John Studzinski CBE\, Founder and Chairman of Genesis Foundation\, Managing Director & Vice Chairman of PIMCO \nAllan Leighton\, Chairman of The Co-operative Group\, Pizza Express\, Element\, Simba and BrewDog \nBob Wigley\, Chairman of UK Finance\, Vesta Global Holdings Ltd\, Vizolution Ltd and Bink Ltd \nCharles Allen\, Lord Allen of Kensington\, Chairman Global Media & Entertainment Limited\nChristine Hodgson CBE\, Chair\, Severn Trent Plc \nLord Mark Price\, Founder of WorkL and former government Minister of Trade \nSir Richard Lambert\, Chair\, Bloomsbury Publishing plc and Bradford Literature Festival \nDame Vivian Hunt\, Chief Innovation Officer\, UnitedHealth Group\nSir William Castell LVO\, FMedSci  \nZahra Bahrololoumi CBE\, Chief Executive Officer\, Salesforce UK & Ireland\n\n\n\nBooking and contact details and further information\n\nFor more information\, please contact the events team at Business in the Community\nFull joining instructions will be sent before the event.\n\nFind out how your organisation can become a member of Business in the Community \n\n\nThe ‘Seeing is Believing’ visits are made possible with generous support from Salesforce. \n\n
