Diversity Alliance was awarded for its commitment to fostering a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility. The consultancy achieves this through its education, training, consultancy, workshops, and events.

“We express our gratitude to the South East StartUp Awards and remain steadfast in our mission to create equitable and accessible environments that drive business success.”
Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE, creator of the awards, added: “In the second year of the South East Startup Awards, we have seen yet again the incredible contribution of new businesses to job creation, innovation, and prosperity across the whole of this entrepreneurial nation.
“It’s been an honour and a pleasure to read the stories of those individuals from across the South East who have spotted the opportunity and taken the risk to launch their own venture, especially at a time when the economy is still fragile after the Covid-19 pandemic.”
