We're proud to celebrate that Ian B. Senior Loyalty Transformation Manager, has been recognised in the 2026 Role Models for Inclusion in Hospitality, Travel, Leisure & Retail Index by WiHTL & Diversity in Retail – a recognition that reflects his outstanding commitment to creating meaningful change. 💫 As founder and co-chair of our Embrace Network, Ian created a space focused on race, culture and ethnicity where none previously existed. Starting without a playbook, he worked to bring colleagues together, build trust and create a network that continues to drive awareness, connection and action across our business. Through initiatives including Embrace Talks, reverse mentoring, sharing circles and cultural celebration days, Ian has helped create opportunities for colleagues to be heard, learn from one another and foster a stronger sense of belonging. Ian explains: “When colleagues see these conversations are welcomed, it signals that their voices matter, which has a positive impact on engagement and collaboration.” His impact extends beyond the network itself. Ian continually champions inclusive thinking in his day-to-day role, helping ensure representation, audience diversity and inclusion are considered in the decisions we make every day. He also played a key role in establishing Currys' rapid response approach to external events – demonstrating how inclusion can be embedded into the way an organisation operates, not just discussed. Reflecting on his inclusion journey, Ian shared: "If you wait until you have all the answers, you often don't start at all." Congratulations, Ian, on this well-deserved recognition and thank you for the impact you continue to make at Currys. 💜 #LifeAtCurrys #Inclusion #Belonging #RoleModelsForInclusion #DiversityAndInclusion
