Hannah Collins

Whilst working at Browne Jacobson, Hannah contributed to the formation of the first D&I steering group in the firm, where she leads on LGBT+ matters with James Arrowsmith, implementing policies, writing blogs, and raising awareness on LGBT+ issues. For the past three years, Hannah has coordinated pride events within the organisation, such as liaising with other companies to attend Pride marches, also organising virtual Pride initiatives during lockdown restrictions; including LGBTea@3 and LGBTQ&As. Additionally, Hannah has been part of a steering group in the East Midlands, which has bought The Alliance Network, a network of LGBT+ professional networks, to the region. Their mission is to unite organisations to share best practice, provide support networks, facilitate events, and make the region the best place for LGBTQI+ individuals to live and work. Alliance has featured in the Queer Bulletin and other publications. Hannah would like to thank colleagues, Browne Jacobson’s D&I group, and The Alliance Network for their ongoing dedication and support.
