Meet th e Founders<br />
<strong>Shine</strong> <strong>People</strong> <strong>and</strong> Places was set up in 2004<br />
by Gaby Marcon <strong>and</strong> Aless<strong>and</strong>ra Alonso<br />
who identified a gap in the market for the<br />
provision of management training coupled<br />
with coach/mentoring, especially for people<br />
in middle management <strong>and</strong> supervisory<br />
roles. Since its inception, <strong>Shine</strong> has been<br />
promoting the value of coach/mentoring as<br />
an effective, low-cost <strong>and</strong> flexible business<br />
tool that taps into the existing human<br />
resources of any organisation.<br />
<strong>Shine</strong> has developed strong links with public<br />
sector organisations such as <strong>People</strong> <strong>1st</strong>, with<br />
whom they are currently collaborating to<br />
deliver their Women <strong>1st</strong> mentoring project,<br />
<strong>and</strong> Skills Active (sector skills council for<br />
active leisure, learning <strong>and</strong> wellbeing) with<br />
whom they collaborate to deliver mentoring<br />
training to volunteers in preparation for<br />
the 2012 Olympics. <strong>Shine</strong> has also got<br />
strong links with Middlesex University,<br />
City University <strong>and</strong> London Metropolitan<br />
University with whom it is running both<br />
mentoring <strong>and</strong> diversity projects. <strong>Shine</strong> is<br />
also working with major London museums<br />
to deliver mentoring training <strong>and</strong> preparing<br />
the ground for the launch of a mentoring<br />
network. In addition <strong>Shine</strong> works with large<br />
private sectors organisations such as Virgin<br />
Active, BSI <strong>and</strong> KPMG.<br />
In 2004 <strong>Shine</strong> launched the <strong>Shine</strong> <strong>Awards</strong><br />
for Women in hospitality, leisure, travel<br />
<strong>and</strong> tourism to celebrate female excellence<br />
in the sector. The awards have grown in<br />
popularity <strong>and</strong>, since the launch of the<br />
Women <strong>1st</strong> research report – A Case for<br />
Change in November 2010 – the awards<br />
are being run by <strong>People</strong> <strong>1st</strong> with the idea<br />
of promoting them even further in order<br />
to broaden their reach across the industry.<br />
<strong>Shine</strong> continues to be a very valued part of<br />
the judging team.
