Growing diversity in the sector: building for the future

15:40 - 16:30
Tuesday 28 April 2026
Edinburgh International Conference Centre, Lammermuir Suite

How diverse is our sector, and what more can we do to build and create truly diverse and inclusive workplaces? Hot on the heels of Bateman Collins’s 2025 report on the building society sector, we look at key findings and examine the challenges. With a focus on socio-economic, gender and ethnicity, we’ll examine how firms maintain momentum on all aspects of diversity.
