Dave is the co-chair of the LGBT network and over the last three years has become a very visible and vocal LGBT role model. He has used his expertise in sustainability communications to raise awareness of LGBT issues both internally and for the property sector as a whole. Dave led a number of programmes including working with 3 construction companies to tackle homophobia by getting over 600 workers to wear rainbow laces on site and also getting hundreds of JLL staff wearing a bright colour in support of IDAHOT. Dave speaks with senior leaders on how they as allies can set a positive example. He has also spoken to a number of teams about his personal journey while presenting the business case for LGBT inclusion. To influence the sector, Dave has led conversations with four clients to help them start LGBT networks, has spoken at Stonewall Workplace Conferences and the Facilities Management Conference on what building managers can do to help LGBT inclusivity, and has been quoted in the Independent and FT on his views. JLL held its first company awards last year and Dave won the Community Impact award for his work in diversity & inclusion.
