Adler & Allan shortlisted for three British Diversity Awards

Published: 19 January 2026

We are proud to announce that we have been shortlisted for three categories at the prestigious British Diversity Awards, recognising our ongoing commitment to build and maintain supportive and inclusive workplaces across Adler & Allan.

Outstanding Employee Network of the Year

Ex-forces network

As result of Ryan Stockwell’s excellent work to develop and expand our ex-forces network, we feel immensely privileged to employ over 150 veterans and reservists (around 7% of our workforce). Veterans bring a diverse range of capabilities along with high levels of leadership and resilience that benefit colleagues and customers alike.

From achieving the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Gold award, to hosting insight days and Armed Forces events, this network not only enhances our business but also offers meaningful opportunities for veterans and reservists to apply their valuable experience in a commercial setting.

Outstanding Women’s Network of the Year

Women Making Waves

Women Making Waves encourages involvement, improves awareness, and builds greater understanding. This network is driving real change through three key initiatives:

Menopause and menstruation advocacy
Caregiver support for 107 working carers
Personal development in 2026

Diversity Champion of the Year

Jen Patterson

Jen Patterson has led our menopause and menstruation initiative with passion and purpose, creating a bold three-year strategy to improve and enhance awareness and provide practical support. Her work has delivered training, resources, and cultural change that empowers women and inspires inclusion across Adler & Allan.

Why this matters

These nominations celebrate the incredible efforts of our people and networks. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made, and even more excited about what’s to come.

Group HR Director, Carla Murray, had this to say: “Being shortlisted for three British Diversity Awards is a proud moment for Adler & Allan. These nominations reflect the passion and commitment of our people to create an inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to these initiatives; you are helping us lead the way in our industry.”

The winners will be announced at the British Diversity Awards ceremony in March.
