  Lewis Bell

  Senior Technical Sourcer and UK Chair of B.proud (LGBTQ+ ER
  Booking.com

  I want to create environments within companies that are truly inclusive, giving people from different race, gender, age, disability, and sexual orientation the confidence to be who they want to be and enjoy the career and success they deserve. I have worked for large global organisations to smaller family-run businesses and never had to deal with homophobic issues, the one time I did I left the company as they didn't see it as an issue if you have to go through this at the workplace and don't feel supported then this is a great place to find companies that can except you however just because a company has a policy or an award does not mean they practice this day to day I am proud of who I am and want to ensure that for people who have no voice are heard and represented both professionally and personally. If you are looking for advice on companies who are inclusive, CV help, interview prep please feel free to reach out.
