Diversity Inclusion Awards

Here's what Shirley had to say...

I am thrilled to be included in the Diversity Power List, alongside an array of extraordinary diversity trailblazers! The Diversity Power List (DPL) was established by Inclusive Companies to highlight the prominent and crucial contributions across Diversity, Inclusion and Equity from influential trailblazers representing all strands of diversity, spanning many different sectors of society.

Encompassing an array of Community Heroes, Campaigners, Equality Advocates, Corporate Allies, Parliamentary Leaders, Political Activists, and Broadcasters, the honours list, shines a light on those who are tackling the inequalities in today’s society, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to the values of E, D&I.

I would like to thank Inclusive Companies and the Diversity Power List Judges for including me in this fantastic list. Congratulations to my fellow diversity peers who have also made the list. 

I am so proud of the New Bridge College Girls Group making me this incredible bag.

As an unapologetic an empowered Autistic Executive at New Bridge Group, I understand how important it is for me to be both the ladder and the lamp.

Wow!

To say that everyone at New Bridge is proud of Shirley is an understatement, but the real impact is the potential for this to inspire a whole generation of neurodiverse learners. 

Well done, Shirley. This is deserved recognition for the way in which you fly the flag for neurodiverse emplyees, students and citizens.

Congratulations!
