Creating an inclusive place to work for every one of our 3000 employees is really important and by achieving greater workforce diversity so we are reflective of the communities we serve, we can ensure that we have the greatest mix of skills in the business so we can make better decisions, create more innovative ideas and provide the very best service to our customers all day, every day.

We are proud to be members of the Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) Campaign with our Chief Executive, Heidi Mottram, being a signatory of the WISE 10 steps. We are a Stonewall Diversity Champion and a Disability Confident Committed employer and these partnerships ensure we can learn from experts and other organisations to ensure we are creating an inclusive environment across the whole business, where our people feel valued, respected and listened to. With Ethical being one of our core company values, from the very start of a career with us, our employees receive inclusion awareness as part of our corporate induction programme. All of our leaders also receive inclusion and diversity training as part of our Leadership and Management Development Programme and throughout the year we raise awareness and educate all of our people through our Wellbeing and Inclusion Calendar which includes dates such as Pride Awareness, International Women In Engineering Day and National Inclusion Week.
