About us
AFBE-UK aims to challenge and inspire people of Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) origin to make enhanced contributions in their respective fields, and to add value to their communities using engineering as a platform. We are a registered not-for profit organisation that encourages people of black and minority ethnicity to study engineering, support those who aspire to be successful engineers, promote engineering in the schools and promote diversity in the work force. We also advise organisations on how to promote diversity in industry and create healthy, inclusive and sustainable environments where minorities can do their best work and thrive. Our objective is to increase the engineering talent available in the UK and to drive the economic growth. AFBE-UK is not exclusive to people from a particular ethnic origin, however it focuses on people that have and share the experience and interest in inspiring people of BME origin in our communities. AFBE-UK has two active chapters in London and Aberdeen that work to achieve a common goal.

On Wednesday, we held an insightful and productive industry roundtable in London, hosted by Matchtech, where we explored best practices for data collection. It was an absolute pleasure to have a panel, including Abigail Frost, Gill Thomas, Anna Sirmoglou and Kerry Griffith, who shared invaluable insights into the evolving landscape of data collection, management, and application. Their contributions sparked a great conversation in the room and led to rich discussions on how we can all improve in this critical area. A huge thank you to our panellists, attendees, and Matchtech and Annabel Honour for hosting. Together, we’re shaping the future of data and how we can be more inclusive in our industries!
