We are delighted and honoured to have been nominated in the 'Social Mobility Initiative of the Year' category for the inaugural British Diversity Awards.
The awards promote the values of equality, diversity and inclusion by rewarding those individuals, organisations and unsung heroes who help to make the world and the workplace a better place for others. They're sponsored by Burberry and supported by leading businesses including Boots, GSK and Veolia.
