Jo Verrent

Jo believes that ‘different’ is delicious not divergent, embedding the belief that diversity adds texture, turning policy into real action.

Currently senior producer for Unlimited - the world’s largest commissions programme for disabled artists, she also co-runs SYNC (disability / leadership) and makes art work such as Take Me to Bed.

Jo has won Cosmopolitan’s woman of achievement award and her village’s cup for making jam; she was awarded an MBE in the 2021 New Year’s Honours list which she will give back if she doesn’t use it to make change happen faster.
