Welcoming new DI&B Chair

Introducing Simon Jose, Culdrose Operations Scheduler, who is the new Chair of Ascent’s Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging (DI&B) Champions.

Simon, a member of the DI&B team since 2021, is keen to take on a new challenge, and is passionate about all things DI&B, wanting to enable people from all walks of life to join Ascent and fulfil their potential.

“As someone who is passionate about learning about people and how they think and act, I feel that this role allows me to explore new ways of doing business to help support people at work,” says Simon.

“It also gives me an opportunity to network with others and work together with colleagues across sites and at the Training Hub – building a better and more diverse environment for employees to prosper.”

Ascent’s DI&B Champions provide an important support network and link between employees, line managers, HR and our senior leaders. They support all colleagues in the business and can provide/seek advice on diversity issues that may be impacting colleagues’ work.
