Speaking at the ceremony, Barry Phillips, chair of Legal Island, said: “These individuals and organisations view equality and diversity as much more than a legal tick box exercise. They value diversity and recognise the benefits it brings. By driving diversity in the workplace, they are helping to drive it in the community outside too.”
