    Putting athletes first - everyone says it - how many people do it? In this episode of Great British Bosses, we ask Nick Pearson the CEO of Forte Talent Management, which in its own words, is a sports talent agency redefining representation for track and field athletes, digital talent, and sports models. And that 'redefining' includes launching their first ever event - the Keely Klassic - named after and supported by their Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson. Is this the future? We also talk the Endurance Games and Grand Slam Athletics* (*recorded before Michael Johnson's cancellation of the 4th GS event in LA) Learn more about your ad choices.
