Super friendly and flexible, Vick understands what clients need and helps them take action fast”. Lucie Jacquemet, Project & Network Coordinator, IMPALA, (EU)

“It was great working with Vick, she brought expert guidance to an EDI based project and really helped to kick start it. Furthermore, hearing Vick talk generally about the wider music industry was really informative and eye-opening“.  Nathan Hilton, International Production Music Manager, West One Music Group

“Vick’s mentoring was invaluable to us as we built our SheProducer project. She helped us write our gender, diversity and equality policy, bringing fresh insight and ideas at a vital time before we launched. Her knowledge, enthusiasm and support helped us to voice our vision and gave us the confidence to communicate it widely.” Kath Williams, CEO, SheProducer

“Vick Bain provided our introductory trainings to the general subject of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion on the work floor. She provided us with a well-rounded overview of all aspects of this subject from the history and the theory, to its place in the law, to concrete action points to do better at EDI as a company and all this in the context of our own industry, the music industry. Vick Bain’s trainings have been a starting point for more future training and an accelerator for the further realization and implementation of EDI policy in our company“. Eline van der Meij, HR department, Armada Music Group (Netherlands)

“Vick led our Extracurricular online seminar on gender equality in music, with passion and integrity. Our attendees left feeling inspired to make a positive difference and more informed on this matter. Vick is knowledgeable and easy to work with. She is someone that is genuinely making a stand for equality in the Music Business. We applaud her for that.” Sinead Campbell- Bradford Producing Hub

“Vick was a fantastic business partner and colleague during the development of the Equality and Diversity Charter for Music. She carried out a consultancy project as part of her MBA, based on the stance of music industry employers towards equality and diversity issues. Her thinking and recommendations greatly helped to inform the development of a new piece of policy, and give integrity to the project. She also helped manage some of the tricky issues around cultural change that the initiative encountered. Highly recommended.” Remi Harris MBE, Creative Business Trainer & Coach

“At Durham BRASS Festival we had the absolute pleasure of working with Vick Bain as part of our work into equality, diversity and inclusion at BRASS festival. Vick’s research was invaluable, it was relevant, strategic and really thought provoking. This research has helped us in many ways to open up the conversation further into gender and ethnic equality and diversity in brass music which will carry forward such a positive difference for programming and the festival as a whole“.  Sue Collier – Artistic Director Durham BRASS Festival
