  1. “When working in neighbourhoods that have a high majority of BAME individuals, our workforce and managers should reflect this.”

    Would you write:

    “When working in neighborhoods that have a high majority of White individuals, our workforce and managers should reflect this”?

    As for finding yourself the only individual with a BAME background in the room, I often have the same experience where I find I’m the only white guy in the room. It must be something to do with working in a South Asian country?

    Do you think your working in a country where the majority of people still would be classed as white, might similarly have something to do with your experience?

  2. As a business leader in Construction it is fantastic to see Janet providing a really positive role model for women and individuals with a BAME background. Women and BAME individuals are woefully underrepresented in the industry particular at senior levels, as are LGBT individuals. The statistics are clear. Our industry can not afford to ignore talent from diverse backgrounds. Getting it right will not be easy and there are many hurdles to overcome but we don’t have a choice if we want to thrive in the future. Janet – you are an inspiration. Well done.
