TESTIMONIALS

“Conor has been our trusted go to DEI expert at Legal Island for many years. 

He’s probably one of the most experienced DEI practitioners in the UK or Ireland. 

You only need to see the work he’s done at Queen’s University Belfast, establishing them as sector leading and an employer of choice. 

For me, that’s real evidence of  someone who knows how to get meaningful results in the DEI space, in ways which really change organisational culture for the better”. 

Barry Phillips, BEM, Chairman, Legal Island

“I had the pleasure of joining a panel with Conor on diversity and inclusion. He spoke passionately about the importance of creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and respected.

His insights and experiences were incredibly valuable, and I left the panel feeling inspired and motivated to continue raising the importance of diverse and inclusive maritime sector ."

Scarlett Black, Head of Programmes, Maritime UK. 

“As a membership organisation for leaders in the non-profit sector, we were aware we needed to help our members get up to speed on how Diversity, Equality and Inclusion policy was developing alongside the Sustainable Development Goal agenda in their strategic environment.  We were keen to be proactive on behalf of our sector to do so, not just because ethically it’s the right thing to do, but also to make sure we could future-proof our compliance ahead of mandatory legislation or procurement conditions.  Conor put a lot of effort into understanding the audience for the education programme we developed and made sure that the content inspired people to think positively about DEI. Some may have come to learn about compliance and regulation, but they left knowing how integrating DEI policy could improve their organisational performance, and with pragmatic ideas on how to implement good practice.”  Patrick Minne, Director, CO3 Enterprises Ltd
