The SPN team, in collaboration with Dahabshiil, proudly welcomed 80 Somali professionals from a broad spectrum of industries and diverse job roles, including HR specialists, lawyers, doctors, nurses, architects, investment bankers, IT professionals, journalists, and many others. These talented Somali professionals and entrepreneurs travelled from various parts of London and all corners of the UK to participate in this significant gathering.
Dahabshiil’s partnership was instrumental in making the event a success, reflecting its longstanding dedication to supporting the Somali community worldwide. As one of the largest money transfer companies serving the Somali diaspora, Dahabshiil continues to invest in initiatives that empower Somali professionals, foster entrepreneurship, and strengthen community ties.
The event served not only as a platform for networking and sharing expertise but also as a celebration of the achievements of Somali professionals who are making an impact across multiple sectors in the UK. Attendees had the opportunity to exchange ideas, build meaningful connections, and explore potential collaborations that can drive further growth and innovation.
We were honoured to receive a visit from John McDonnell, the MP for Hayes & Harlington, who expressed positive feedback about the event and its importance to the community. He also showed his support by tweeting about the gathering, helping to amplify its reach and impact.
This collaboration between SPN and Dahabshiil highlights a shared commitment to nurturing talent, encouraging professional development, and building a stronger Somali community across the UK.
