Disability Smart Awards - Winners

To win a Disability Smart Award was an honour and signified a milestone for us as recognition of our dedication and effort toward transforming the workplace to make it a truly inclusive environment for all.

Leena Haque and Sean Gilroy, BBC’s Creating a Positive Environment Programme (Disability Smart Award winner 2019)

It’s terrific to be recognised by Business Disability Forum for displaying best practice.

David Oldfield, Lloyds Banking Group (Disability Smart Award winner 2017)

The Disability Smart Awards are a wonderful way to recognise the inspiring actions of individuals, businesses, and organisations who are already working toward inclusion. They also open up a network of like-minded people with whom you can learn, share ideas and explore opportunities for collaboration.
