As part of Pride month WCIB Court Assistant Alderman Tim Hailes speaks to Freeman Daniel Yates on Diversity and Inclusion

During the interview Tim speaks about his career in finance spanning over 25 years and the changing attitudes towards the LGBT+ community. He talks about his year as Sheriff where he lived in the Old Bailey and had the rainbow flag fly from its roof for the first time – a significant event given this is where Oscar Wilde was sentenced. He describes people’s professions, the Livery, and the Corporation of London as three interlocking circles and whilst all have made great strides on Diversity and Inclusion there is more to do – “it’s about widening the gate not lowering the bar.”
