Marvin OnumonuLouise Minchin (pictured) will host this year’s Inclusive Awards on 27th November at the Hurlingham Club in London.
The Inclusive Awards, organised by Inclusive Companies and supported by BAE Systems, is now in its 11th year.
It recognises organisations across the UK for their commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI).
There are eight award categories, with a Lifetime Achiever Award chosen by the judging panel.
Minchin said: “It will be an honour to host the Inclusive Awards and play my part in celebrating the amazing EDI work being done and showcase its impact.”
Paul Sesay, CEO of Inclusive Companies, said: “In the 11 years since we started the Inclusive Awards it has never felt more important to drive up diversity and drive out discrimination.
“We are living with the threat of some organisations and wider society dialling down on diversity, thanks to unhelpful and discriminatory rhetoric.
“The evening shows, beyond doubt, the supremely positive impact EDI has on people’s lives and careers, quite apart from the indisputable benefit to the business bottom line of a diverse and equitable workforce.”
Entries for the 2025 awards close on 14th July 2025 and shortlists will be announced in September and winners revealed later in the year.
The categories cover D&I consultancy, outstanding diversity network, inclusive culture initiative, head of diversity and inclusion, chief executive of the year, D&I tech initiative, social mobility project and diversity teams.
The judging panel will consider achievements across areas including age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, race and religion.
The Lifetime Achiever Award will go to an individual who has made a significant and long-term contribution to equality and diversity.
