Profile
About
Sir John Sorrell and Lady Frances Sorrell are British designers and creative industry advocates who are major supporters of creative education. They set up Newell and Sorrell in 1976 - going on to work with major brands including British Airways and Royal Mail. The business became Interbrand in 1997. The pair also co-founded the Sorrell Foundation in 1999, and the organisation has supported thousands of young people across the UK - helping them to engage with creativity. The Saturday Club Trust is a spinoff of this, and gives 13-16-year-olds the chance to study everything from art and design to writing and talking on Saturdays for free. Both have held other influential roles, with Lady Frances Sorrell Chancellor of the University of Westminster, and Sir John Sorrell chairman of London Design Festival.
