Welcome!
Fast Forward 15 is a mentoring movement, championing female talent in the events, travel & hospitality industry.
Founded by industry leader Fay Sharpe OBE, our community provides a variety of initiatives, including our 12-month non-profit mentoring programme, the FF15 Mentoring Awards, recognising the industry’s commitment to mentoring & development, and the University Challenge competition, encouraging next-gen talent.
We also work with selected entrepreneurs & leaders providing bespoke coaching and mentoring projects.
The FF15 Programme
The Fast Forward 15 programme runs for a 12-month period during which, mentees and mentors work together to set and achieve objectives and goals. The programme includes two education days, monthly 1-to-1 mentoring, and concludes with a graduation ceremony to celebrate the cohorts achievements.
Running successfully since 2014, FF15 has enabled female event professionals to achieve life changing results in both their careers and personal growth. Countless women have realised their potential with promotions, leadership roles and significant progress in their career.
FF15 has also helped to support a number of entrepreneurial start-ups with female founders.
