We are delighted to share that Carrington West has once again been awarded the Investors in Diversity (IID) accreditation by the National Centre for Diversity. This reaccreditation, now valid until 2027, reflects our unwavering commitment to building a truly inclusive, respectful, and equitable workplace for everyone.

The Investors in Diversity Award is one of the UK’s most respected equality standards. It gives organisations like ours a robust framework to embed equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) into our day-to-day culture and operations. Securing this award confirms that the principles of fairness, opportunity, and respect are deeply ingrained in how we work, with our colleagues, clients, and candidates.

James Fernandes, Managing Director, commented:

“Receiving the Investors in Diversity reaccreditation is a proud moment for us. We’ve always believed that an inclusive culture isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s how we build a successful business. I want to thank our team for embracing these values and making inclusion a genuine part of our identity at Carrington West.”

As we continue to grow, we know the importance of not just maintaining, but advancing our efforts in this space. Inclusion is a journey, and we’re committed to continual learning, listening, and improving.

Ella Razzell, EDI Champion and Compliance Manager, said:

“Achieving this accreditation is a significant milestone that recognises the tangible efforts we’ve made across the business. I’m incredibly proud of the open conversations we’re having, the policies we’re embedding, and the progress we’re making together as a team.”

We will continue to work closely with the National Centre for Diversity to review our practices and ensure we stay ahead in creating a workplace where everyone can thrive.
