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.
