Honouring Trailblazers: Black Britons Who’ve Shaped Our Nation

Every October, the UK celebrates Black History Month, a time to reflect on the rich tapestry of black culture, heritage and history that has helped shape modern Britain.

Honouring Trailblazers: Black Britons Who’ve Shaped Our Nation
It’s more than 31 days; it’s a celebration of triumph, creativity and relentless spirit that has inspired generations.

What is Black History Month?
Black History Month is an annual observance of black people’s history, achievements and influence within the UK. It aims to educate, appreciate and celebrate the immense contributions Black Britons have made in various fields.

Why is it organised?
Black History Month highlights the often overlooked or forgotten achievements of black individuals in Britain. By recognising and honouring these contributions, we can help build a national sense of inclusivity, unity and understanding. It’s a chance for everyone to engage, learn and be inspired.

Five Black Britons making a positive impact
Sir Lenny Henry: An acclaimed comedian and actor, Sir Lenny’s contribution to British entertainment is unparalleled. He’s also a passionate advocate for diversity in the media.

Baroness Doreen Lawrence: As the mother of Stephen Lawrence, who was murdered in a racist attack, she has become a tireless campaigner against racism and inequality.

Dame Kelly Holmes: An Olympic legend, Dame Kelly has been a trailblazer in athletics and has worked extensively to support mental health causes.

Malorie Blackman: An exceptional author, Blackman’s works, such as ‘Noughts & Crosses’, have brought diversity and representation into literature.

Sir Trevor McDonald: As one of the most recognised and respected newsreaders, Sir Trevor has been a leading figure in journalism, breaking barriers and setting standards.

Black History Month is a vibrant and powerful reminder of the strength, resilience and brilliance that black individuals have brought to the UK.

It’s a time to look back with pride and look forward with hope, recognising that our diverse heritage makes the United Kingdom that much stronger, wiser and kinder.

Meet Abigail

  Hello, my name is Abigail, and I am the Grey in Grey & Co. I started working here in 2002 as a Junior Negotiator and have worked my way up the ranks since then. I took over running the company in 2014 and have been enjoying the roller coaster that is leadership ever since.   During my 20 plus years at Grey & Co I have dealt with the sale of over £100,000,000 worth of property and overseen the management of assets worth £250,000,000 for clients around the world.   I also had the pleasure of working with my father, the founder of Grey & Co, for 15 years before he sadly passed away and from him, I learnt the work hard ethic and our values today are still the ones that he founded the company on all those years ago.   Be Remarkable, Be Passionate, Be Humble and Be Better.   As a community centric boutique family agency, you couldn’t find a better partner to take with you on your property journey.
