Meet Nick, a Sales Executive and Co-Chair of Pride at Work UK at Thomson Reuters

Meet Nick, a Sales Executive and Co-Chair of Pride at Work UK. He tells us why employee resource groups are integral to shaping the business culture.
As a Sales Executive at Thomson Reuters, I am responsible for helping legal teams in the public sector, including charities, government departments, local authorities, and non-profit organizations ensure they have the right content. My interest in sales began at a young age, with various part-time sales roles over the years.
After graduating from university, I joined British Airways in a sales support role, where I found my passion for building relationships with customers. This led me to my first role at Thomson Reuters where I have been for the past 18 years, starting as a temp in Marketing Services, before moving on to the print renewal team, selling print subscriptions to the legal market. From there, my career progressed through a series of sales roles, selling online content and software to academics, corporates, and law firms.
I always had a passion for employee resource groups, which is part of the reason why I am a Co-Chair of the Pride at Work UK business resource group. I remember when I first joined Thomson Reuters, I was not comfortable with anyone knowing I was gay, because it was something that just was not discussed, and I always felt that I needed to be someone else so I could fit in. Fast forward 18 years – this is the reason why we have these business resource groups, so everyone can be their best selves and feel supported. Thomson Reuters business resource groups have played an important role in shaping a culture that celebrates diversity and inclusion.
One of the biggest obstacles I have faced throughout my professional career has been to just be comfortable with being myself. It has been a journey to overcome people’s perceptions of LGBTQIAP+ individuals, but we are in a much better place than we were before, and there are things we can still do to improve. I have been on a great journey at Thomson Reuters, and it keeps getting better.
