Georgina’s recognition highlights her work in establishing Exeter’s first-ever Pride in Business event in 2024 and over the past year, her leadership of Trowers’ local LGBTQ+ and Allies Network’s, bringing together colleagues, clients, and community partners to champion inclusion and spark important conversations.
Georgina commented:
“I’m honoured to be recognised alongside so many inspiring individuals who are driving positive change. This recognition reflects the collective effort of everyone involved in promoting LGBTQ+ inclusion at Trowers and across the wider Exeter business community. I’m proud of what we have achieved together, from launching Pride in Business to building stronger connections that help create workplaces where everyone can be their authentic selves.”
Stuart Mathews, Head of the Exeter office, added:
"We are so proud of Georgina and the work she does to drive inclusion, demonstrating the benefits of collaboration around DEI, for colleagues and for business. This is an opportunity to celebrate the work of our South West LGBTQ+ Network, a small but impactful group who have achieved amazing things together."
