Ellie Butterworth
Role: Education Recruitment Consultant , Manchester
My passion for D&I has come from having a disabled sibling and seeing the struggles which he has faced due to the inequality within society. This made me realise the impact that this has on an individual's day to day life and the importance of championing change within society. This passion led me to study Sociology and Politics at University focusing my modules on Inequality.
As a white woman it is important to recognise that I have privilege simply for the colour of my skin and therefore I feel it is my responsibility to help challenge the inequalities within the workplace, to help make it more accessible for everyone. As a company it is important for Gravitas to lead the way in creating an environment which is inclusive for all.
