Bio

I have been in the field of inclusion and diversity since 1990. Intersectionality is of particular interest, and although my focus since I became disabled in 2004 is on disability, I recognise that many people are disadvantaged by multiple factors.

I founded an exciting award-winning social enterprise called Evenbreak in 2011, run by and for disabled people, which helps inclusive employers attract and retain more talented disabled candidates.

Why would you want to employ disabled people? Well, because we form a valuable pool of talent who are productive, loyal, bring additional skills and help you attract the £249 billion a year that disabled people and our families spend in the UK.

Advertising all your vacancies on Evenbreak’s specialist job board means you attract more talented disabled candidates than you would find elsewhere, and also positions you very powerfully as an inclusive employer of choice.

Subscribing to Evenbreak’s best practice portal means all your people become more confident and competent around inclusion and accessibility.

Employers already benefitting from Evenbreak include John Lewis, Unilever, Channel 4, HS2, and many, many more.

Our many thousands of diverse candidates come from a very wide range of sources and have a vast array of experience, skills, talents and qualifications.

We offer support to employers in becoming more inclusive and accessible through our bespoke training and consultancy.
