Currys reports that three employees have been recognised in this year’s Role Models for Inclusion in Hospitality, Travel, Leisure and Retail index, produced by WiHTL & Diversity in Retail, in partnership with the MBS Group.
Kirsty Littlemore, Nigel Paterson and Zoë Martin-Pearce were named as role models for their outstanding contributions to inclusion and diversity in the retail sector.
Head of Finance Transformation, Littlemore, was selected for her setting up of the Women’s Network at Currys, which now hosts 300 members.
“The network is making such a difference already – really helping to connect, inspire and empower our female colleagues, with the support of some amazing male allies too” she says.
Paterson, Currys Group General Counsel and Company Secretary, achieved the role model nomination for his inspirational inclusive leadership style.
“I consider inclusion and fairness to be the bedrock of a positive, successful organisational culture which serves to attract and retain colleagues and customers” he comments.
And thirdly Sales Colleague, Martin-Pearce, was recognised for her pioneering of both the pride and disability networks at Currys. “I aim to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive” she says.
