Andrew highlights the importance of working in an environment where he can be his true self, valued and respected. His role allows him to contribute to meaningful changes, fostering diversity and inclusion, and underscores the significance of awareness campaigns in continuing the dialogue around LGBT+ issues.
FREDIE Awards 2021 – The Poem
After the 2021 FREDIE Awards we want to share a short poem by Stephen Morrison-Burke with you.
In a challenging year, gladiators of equality, diversity, and inclusion shine through
The FREDIE Awards are presented by the National Centre for Diversity (NCFD) to recognise and honour organisations and individuals that exemplify excellence in promoting Fairness, Respect, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, and Engagement (FREDIE). These awards celebrate companies across various sectors—private, public, and charity—that have demonstrated outstanding commitment to creating inclusive environments. The awards aim to benchmark best practices and inspire others to advance equality and inclusivity in the workplace. At the 2021 ceremony VINCI UK claimed the top spot, while Zoe Shackleton of Huddersfield Town AFC and Karen Wallace of ScotRail were recognised for their contributions to promoting inclusive practices.
We are with you throughout this Covid-19 crisis and beyond
During this uncertain time we want to assure you that we will continue to your inclusion journey while operating within Government guidelines.
National Centre for Diversity Launches Ground-breaking Supply Chain Verification Service to help SMES work with larger companies.

Developed with industry leaders like Amey and Eiffage-Kier, this service verifies suppliers’ EDI credentials, providing them with a competitive edge. The online service assigns unique reference numbers to verified suppliers, simplifying their proof of commitment to good practices. This initiative aims to spread FREDIE (Fairness, Respect, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, Engagement) values across the UK’s supply chains.
