Burton Chamber committee hosts diversity and inclusion event

Burton & District Chamber of Commerce hosted a networking event last week focused on diversity and inclusion.

The main highlight of the event - which was held at the Pirelli Stadium - was a compelling presentation by Stephen Darlison from ACAS, focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Stephen's expert insights sparked a lively debate among the delegates, inspiring an exchange of ideas throughout the morning.

The discussion centred on the significance of fostering diverse and inclusive work environments, with participants sharing personal anecdotes and perspectives.

This event marked the chambers commitment in raising awareness and understanding that contributes to an inclusive society amongst the business community.

The event lights a spark for change, encouraging attendees to embrace diversity, promote inclusivity, and make a positive impact within their organizations and the wider business community in the region.

Head of the Burton & District Chamber Richard Brooks, and its President Shaun Gray (Ginho Group), were pleased with the event attendance, the engagement of the delegates in the debate, and expressed their thanks to all who came along.

Richard Brooks said: “Businesses that prioritise diversity, equity, and inclusion, and genuinely care for their staff, not only foster a thriving work environment but cultivate a culture of success and endless possibilities."
