Our diversity
and inclusion promise

At Nelson Bostock our commitment to D&I goes beyond statements, black squares and performative allyship. We are committed to making meaningful change, in how we recruit, include and celebrate those from underrepresented backgrounds. We see diversity not only as a strength but as an essential key to success in our industry.

Our latest D&I activities

The Age of Activism – can we keep up?

In honour of Black History Month, we hosted an online panel discussion around the so-called ‘trend’ of activism. We invited four speakers to share their experience and opinions on how individuals and businesses can – and should – commit to drive authentic change both in the workplace and at a personal level.

Talent
days

Our annual Talent Day is open to school-leavers, graduates, or individuals looking for a career change. The workshop gives participants the chance to learn more about the work we do, meet other like-minded people, and share their thoughts and passions with the team. Successful candidates are then offered the chance to join the Nelson Bostock team.
