Our Gender Equality Network is a new initiative established in 2021 as a sub group of our D&I Committee.
The aim of the Gender Equality Network is to understand and address issues which may contribute to an imbalance in the gender make up of the company and ensure that we provide an environment in which everyone can succeed.

My Career Journey
Our My Career Journey programme is a monthly lunch and learn style session focused on increasing the visibility of, and access to, senior leaders within the firm.
