Karen Sutton is the CEO of the National CSR Awards, and the Director of Limelight Design and Marketing as well as the Founder and Chair of Business@Brooklands.After spending three years as a Formula One photographer, she created Limelight Design & Marketing, an agency in the heart of the Brooklands Business Park on the perimeter of London. Ms. Sutton recognised opportunities to unite local businesses to work together towards their individual goals and CSR Policies. Out of a local idea came the drive and enthusiasm to transform the initiative into a national event— Kelly Eisenhardt.
What was your call-to-action in building the National CSR Awards in the UK?
The National CSR Awards started as a locally based idea to award organizations in my own business park for their accomplishments and efforts in the community.
