As co-Chair of ITV Pride and former Chair of InterMediaUK, Matt is an active supporter of diversity and inclusion across ITV and the wider media industry, working closely with the ITV Board to make sure ITV Pride remains relevant and delivers support and advice to all colleagues and programme makers at ITV. He works with ITV Recruitment and HR to promote LGBT+ awareness to all new joiners at The Big Induction, where colleagues across the company that are new to ITV hear all about ITV Pride. He has also worked with the organisation All About Trans to promote Trans awareness within ITV, and has been instrumental in promoting ITV Pride at all main ITV sites. Externally, Matt was invited by the Prime Minister in 2017 to celebrate the work of the LGBT+ community on behalf of ITV and ITV Pride. He has worked with the Pride in London team to help deliver the annual London event, providing key talent and support where required, and regularly supports Just Like Us, Stonewall and the Terrence Higgins Trust. He is a regular speaker, and was invited earlier this year by Pink News and Lloyds Banking Group to attend a Roundtable event to discuss Trans inclusion in the workplace.
