Danny is the Exec Ally for Mpride, Metro Bank’s growing LGBT+ network. Under her leadership the group, which is just over a year old, and other colleagues participated in London, Brighton and Reading Prides 2017 and arranged for rainbow flags to fly in the bank’s store windows in support of local Pride weeks. Metro Bank, as an organisation, was the first bank to take a stand and introduce Mx as a title and non-binary as a ‘gender’ for both customers and colleagues and also boasts a dedicated page on gender neutrality on its in-house knowledge base, Metropedia, accessible to all colleagues. Metro Bank has run countless events throughout the year to support dialogue on LGBT+ issues. The bank’s policies are fully inclusive and they advertise jobs on Stonewall for vacancies where they see less diversity in teams and candidate pools. Danny also sponsors the relationship with Stonewall. All of this activity is focused on enabling people to be themselves in a culture where acceptance is the norm. Externally, Danny proactively shares Mpride activity and other pro LGBT+ news and developments across her social media platforms and attends as many events focussed on inclusion and equality as possible.
