Black & White Bridging has created a new role to strengthen its commitment to industry engagement with the appointment of Daniela Skillington as its new events lead.
Daniella will play a key role in optimising the potential of the company's recently launched headquarters in Bristol, which features a purpose-built event space designed to bring together professionals from across the specialist finance sector.
The appointment forms part of the lender’s wider investment in creating meaningful opportunities for collaboration, education, wellness and networking throughout the industry.
In their new role, Daniela will be responsible for delivering a programme of events and campaigns that supports brokers, valuers, solicitors, introducers, media partners and other industry professionals, while also opening the doors of the Bristol headquarters to external organisations seeking a high-quality venue for their own events.
The multi-functional event space has already hosted a number of successful gatherings and is now available for hire, providing a well-connected location for training sessions, roundtable discussions, networking events, product launches, media briefings, industry forums and wellness initiatives.
Daniela Skilington, Head of Events & Campaigns at B&W commented:
"I'm delighted to be joining the Black & White team at such an exciting time. The new headquarters provides a fantastic platform to bring people together, create valuable conversations and strengthen relationships across the industry.
"There's a real opportunity to build a calendar of events and campaigns that not only supports brokers and professional partners but also creates a venue that the wider specialist finance and property community can utilise. I'm looking forward to helping make the space a destination for collaboration and innovation."
Damien Druce, Chief Operating Officer at B&W, added:
"Relationships have always been at the heart of what we do, and this appointment reflects our commitment to investing in those relationships. Our new headquarters gives us the opportunity to create something unique for the industry, and Dani will be instrumental in making that vision a reality.
"We want this space to be more than just our office. We want it to become a destination where brokers, valuers, solicitors, media partners and industry professionals can come together to share ideas, learn from one another and strengthen connections. By opening the venue for hire, we're creating a resource that benefits the wider market, local businesses and community groups, not just Black & White."
The Bristol headquarters event space is now available for industry bookings, with Black & White encouraging organisations across the specialist finance, property and professional services sectors to explore opportunities to host events within the venue.
