The Social Market Foundation: Past, Present and Future

To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Social Market Foundation, we launched the SMF Alumni Network with an event welcoming current and past SMF staff, trustees and contributors.

Following a welcome drinks reception, we heard from a panel of former SMF leaders on their experiences of running of the think tank, the lessons they learned and what the future may hold for the organisation and the centre-ground of politics.  

Speakers: 

  • Lord Skidelsky, Former SMF Chair
  • Mary Ann Sieghart, Former SMF Chair and Member of the SMF’s Policy Advisory Board 
  • Philip Collins, Former Director of the SMF, and Founder and Writer-in-Chief, The Draft 
  • Professor Wendy Thomson CBE, Chair of the SMF and Vice Chancellor of the University of London (Chair)
