Diversity and disability in the workplace addressed at Softworld by Steve Cunningham

12 ñ 13 October 2005, NEC, Birmingham

Steve Cunningham has been described as ëthe most inspirational man aliveí by Sir Geoff Hurst. He is totally blind and yet has achieved truly remarkable feats of mental and physical strength and determination. Steve will host a masterclass session at the forthcoming Softworld HR & Payroll event (12 ñ 13 October 2005, NEC, Birmingham) during which he will pass on his knowledge of the qualities he has developed.



Steve is officially the fastest blind man on land, sea and in the air, holding the World Blind Land Speed Record and becoming the fastest blind person on water in the World Offshore Powerboat Challenge. He is also the only blind person to pilot a plane around the coast of the UK. If that is not enough, he is a golfer with a handicap of 14, he has captained England in the football world cup and has held records in athletics, not to mention his many successes in business.

A frequent motivational speaker, Steve will address visitors at Softworld looking at overcoming challenges, and developing partnerships. His experience in consulting and training on diversity and disability issues and the way in which they need to be embraced in the modern workplace will all be addressed, offering a unique and invaluable insight.

Steve will be participating at Softworld in association with Topaz (www.topaz.co.uk), the leading provider of Financial, Payroll and HR solutions. Topaz are working closely with Steve to ensure Topaz HR solutions manage the areas of disability and diversity effectively, providing tools for employers to monitor, analyse and plan in these potentially highly sensitive areas. Steve will be present on the Topaz stand 510 during the event.

ìWe are delighted to have Steve speaking at this yearís event,î comments Liz Wood, Portfolio Director for Softworld HR & Payroll. ìSo often people do not realise what their capabilities really are, or how far they can stretch themselves. They actually fear going past the comfort zone, and finding out the limit of their own inner strength. Steve will change that defensive mind set into positive action as he recounts his experiences during the session.î

Steve will be available for press interviews during the event in the press office. To organise an interview, please contact Laurie Chivers at Topaz on Tel: 01773 531551 or email laurie.chivers@topaz.co.uk
