We're committed to creating a positive culture right across the business, a culture that respects and values individual differences
Our executive leadership harnesses a diverse range of thoughts, ideas and perspectives. Our core diversity and inclusion networks continue to be sponsored by the leadership team as follows:
Network | Sponsor |
---|---|
Pride (LGBTQIA+) | Clive Bolton - Managing Director of Protection and Savings and Retirement |
Balance (Gender) | Georgina Farrell - Chief Administrative Officer |
Diversability (Disability) | Harry Hanscomb - Chief Operating Officer |
Respect (Multi-cultural) | Deirdre Davies - Internal Audit Director |

To support our vision, the four diversity and inclusion networks hold regular meetings with their members and each have their own agendas and objectives for the year. For the 2021 National Inclusion Week one member from each network shared a story about what inclusion means to them. These were published on our intranet for our people to read.
Our networks are led by one of our senior leadership team (the network lead) and they’re supported by a deputy network lead (another network member). The networks run as open forums and anyone can sign up to become a member of any group.
Over the course of 2021, we continued many of the collaborations and initiatives which we were established in previous years:
Nicki Illman, Business Systems Analyst here at LV= and our Pride Network Chair, talked to us about why Pride is important to her and future network plans.

We want everyone who works for us to feel valued, engaged and included so that they come to work empowered to be the best they can be
