Andy Aldcroft has significantly expanded LGBTQ+ inclusion across the Midlands through his leadership with KPMG’s Breathe network. As Deputy Co-Chair and Regional Lead, he founded the Breathe Regional Working Party, uniting colleagues from Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham, Bristol, Glasgow, and beyond to coordinate Pride events and foster local engagement. This initiative transformed Breathe from a mostly London-centric group into a truly national network, enhancing visibility and support in smaller offices. Andy’s dedication to sponsoring emerging leaders has empowered junior colleagues to build confidence and become role models, improving LGBTQ+ representation in traditionally less visible environments. Beyond KPMG, he serves on the West Midlands Alliance Network steering committee, promoting cross-firm collaboration. His intersectional approach to inclusion also informs his role as Birmingham IDE lead, where he integrates diverse employee networks to create a more inclusive workplace. Known for his openness and advocacy, Andy inspires others to lead authentically and visibly.
