Last night, we were proud to attend the fourth annual LGBTQ+ Awards, marking our third year of supporting this important event celebrating individuals, networks and organisations driving inclusion across the defence sector.
This year’s event was particularly special for Babcock, with seven shortlisted nominations recognising our colleagues and the Pride in Babcock Network.
We are delighted to congratulate Bex Page, Chair of the Trans & Non-Binary Peer Support Group, on winning the Role Model of the Year Award.
The award is a reflection of the passion, leadership and commitment Bex brings to advancing inclusion across our business and the wider industry.
Reflecting on the achievement, Bex said:
“This award is not just a personal achievement, but a reflection of the positive impact of an inclusive workplace. Trans rights are human rights and I’m proud to represent my community and thankful for the support I’ve received from Babcock to be myself and help others do the same.”
Congratulations also to Denis Twomey, who received a Highly Commended recognition in the Advocate of the Year category, and to our Pride in Babcock Network, which received a Highly Commended recognition in the Network of the Year category.
As sponsor of the Lord Etherton Veteran of the Year Award, it was a privilege for Donna Sinnick, Babcock’s Chief Transformation Officer and Executive Sponsor of the Babcock Forces Community Network, to present this year’s award.
These achievements highlight the positive impact of our colleagues and employee networks in helping to create a more inclusive workplace and industry. We are incredibly proud of everyone who was shortlisted and extend our congratulations to all the finalists and winners recognised for driving positive change across the defence sector
