We are committed to promoting equality and diversity and recognise the benefits of a diverse workforce. We seek to employ the best person for a role regardless of race, gender, religion or any other parameter and promote a working environment free from any form of discrimination or victimisation on any grounds.
We periodically monitor the diversity profile of our team through an anonymous collection of data. During this we gather statistics on age, gender, ethnicity, disability, faith, sexual orientation, socio-economic backgrounds and caring responsibilities.
The following is a summary of responses to the ‘Diversity Data Collection Questionnaire’ distributed to staff in March 2023.
This year’s survey highlights that as a firm, we have a good mix of male and female staff, together with a broad overall age band within the workforce. We have limited mixed ethnicity but this purely reflects the local area and the size of the firm.
Over 80% of the team attended university and has a BA, BSc or higher qualifications and over 60% of the team members were the first generation in the family to do so. Over half of the workforce went to UK state run non selective school, 10 percent attended school overseas and the rest of the team comprises all other selective and fee paying schools in the UK thus has a good mix of personnel from all socio economic background.
This questionnaire was obtained from the ICAEW. More information about the ICAEW’s Diversity Reporting can be found here
