Meet Our Pioneers

Whanau helps and supports founders and senior leadership teams to grow their businesses in the right way. The team all played a key role in taking legendary brand Gymshark to unicorn status, so understand what it takes to build and sustain a high growth company on a global scale.

“Changemakers will help make an immeasurable impact on kids' lives and ensure the hospital can build on its already world-class service and treatment innovation. It’s why we became a founding pioneer – it’s more than just giving finances, it also helps to safeguard a brighter future.”

Founded by Sir Peter Rigby DL, Executive Chairman of Rigby Group Plc and Founder and Executive Chairman of Europe’s largest privately owned IT company, Specialist Computer Centre’s Plc (SCC), The Rigby Foundation is a charitable trust which operates on the principle that success in business goes hand-in-hand with putting back into society and communities. 

"It is a privilege to be a founding pioneer Changemaker and for The Rigby Foundation to make a positive impact at Birmingham Children's Hospital and for me to actively participate in its delivery." - Daniel Cartter, SCC’s Director of Innovation

Redbrain is immensely proud and delighted to be supporting Birmingham Children's Hospital, by becoming a Pioneer member of Changemakers. To be able to be part of this great initiative, which will have a huge impact on the hospital helping them to continue providing world-class care, is both exciting and an honour.
