We are delighted to share that we have appointed two new Diversity and Inclusion Partners to chair our D&I Committee.
Partners Andrea McShane and Nicholas Fox have been appointed as the new Diversity and Inclusion Partners to lead our D&I committee. Throughout the year, they will be involved in championing diversity internally, externally and at Board level, ensuring that we foster a culture of equality throughout everything that we do.
Partner Andrea McShane writes: “It is such a privilege to be involved in fostering diversity and inclusivity at Mathys & Squire. So much great work has been focussed on establishing a robust framework at Mathys & Squire for ensuring diversity and inclusivity. Our commitment to D&I is a central aspect of who we are and how we strive for excellence. Some of the key competences that we strengthen with our policies – cultural intelligence, a learning mindset, flexibility, collaboration, empathy, curiosity and humility – are also key to providing great professional services. As part of my D&I Partner role I spearhead continued evolution of the firm’s strategy. I champion initiatives that enrich and create opportunities. I engage with stakeholders, monitor developments and welcome opportunities to grow our commitment to diversity and inclusivity.“
Partner Nicholas Fox writes: “Diversity and inclusion is such an integral part of the culture here at Mathys & Squire, and it is therefore a pleasure to be actively involved in the establishment and reinforcement of our initiatives as we enter the new year. To effectively support the talent and technical expertise that we are fortunate enough to have here at Mathys & Squire, it is crucial that we create a positive foundation for all that will enable our staff to thrive at work. Not only will this encourage us to serve our clients to the best of our ability, but it also means that everyone will be able to succeed in their personal and professional goals at the firm. In my role as D&I officer, I will continue to take real action towards the implementation of our policies, both internally and externally, and champion the complete integration of all those that work at Mathys & Squire.”
Looking back on her time as Diversity and Inclusion Officer, previous D&I Partner Caroline Warren reflects on the importance and personal highlights of the role.
Partner Caroline Warren writes: “Mathys & Squire has long recognised the importance of Diversity and Inclusion to the firm as well as to the wider profession and I have enjoyed my time leading and developing the D&I group within Mathys & Squire over the past few years. I have learnt a lot from the talks and discussions that we have organised and I have enjoyed celebrating the awareness days and months that we have marked as a firm. I am pleased to be handing on the role to Andrea and Nicholas and look forward to continuing to support the development of D&I within the firm.”
Diversity and Inclusion is an extremely important part of Mathys & Squire. We are committed to fostering a culture of equality, diversity and inclusion, to sustain Mathys & Squire as a welcoming workplace for all of our employees and partners to be a part of.
