Honor believes that a strong team is one in which every person can feel and act 100% their true self. By being an ally and role model her aim is to do everything she can to drive behaviours, roles, actions and groups to make this happen within her team and company. She comments: "I have a number of friends and family in the LGBT+ community and have loved seeing them grow in confidence in their identity inside and out of work. We have a long way to go to reach our diversity goals and ambitions but... I love that we are well on our way on the journey."
