By respecting, encouraging and supporting diversity, we create a great place to work. A place where everyone’s welcome. It means you can be your authentic self at work. We aim to create a working environment that gives you the encouragement and support to step out of your comfort zone, excel and be your best.

Diversity makes the world go around

Diversity & Inclusion Council in action

Our Diversity and Inclusion Council is made up of employees from across all areas and levels of our business. Its aim is to build an inclusive culture. An environment where people from all walks of life can bring their whole selves to work and have a real sense of belonging. Chaired by Managing Director, Catherine Tanna, the Council is open to all, and we encourage everyone to participate, so all voices can be heard.

Bring your whole self to work
