The forthcoming implementation of the public procurement clauses in the Equality Act will demand far more than pink and fluffy box ticking from us as potential suppliers in the private training and consultancy sector.If you want your share of the public £ or indeed $ etc, you need to know a little more about Rainbow Currency ...
Here is some UK key data:-
80% of the wealth of Britain is the hands of people over 50 –the silver pound
It has been estimated that the ethnic pound (the disposable spending power of black and minority ethnic groups) was at least £32 billion
The pink pound is estimated by the Gay Business Association to be worth £12 million a year
And Disability Rights campaigners estimated that nearly £60 million was wasted by businesses last year because disabled people could either not get into commercial premises or access the services! The Purple Pound.
I have drafted a free 20 page booklet on Rainbow Currency - trainingqed@aol.com
