Galliford Try Highways has been recognised for its commitment to diversity with a prestigious accreditation.

The business achieved the Leaders in Diversity accreditation, recognising its exemplary standards in areas of Fairness, Respect, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement (FREDIE).

Duncan Elliott, Managing Director of Galliford Try Highways, said: "We're delighted to achieve Leaders in Diversity and gain recognition for all the great work we have done in this area. We will continue to be committed to FREDIE growth. This is only the beginning of the journey for us.


"FREDIE is about creating inclusive cultures, inspiring workplaces and diversifying our skills. Moral, legal and financial reasons are sufficient cause to get behind our plans but, more importantly, it's the right thing to do. Data also shows that more diverse companies are better places to work and more successful."

He added: "We should all feel very proud of this award. It's a huge achievement in a very short timeframe which is down to everyone's tremendous enthusiasm and commitment. Particular thanks go to David Proctor and Becca Snook who led the initiative."

The accreditation, made by the National Centre for Diversity, remains valid for two years.
