Booker has launched a Race & Ethnicity and LQBTQ+ colleague network to offer colleagues support and advocate for inclusion.

The unveiling of the new colleague networks overlaps with National Inclusion Week, and follows the launch of Women at Booker earlier this year.

 The networks executive sponsors include Booker’s chief financial officer Ves Bandev; Booker’s chief operating officer for race and ethnicity Jonny McQuarrie; Booker’s managing director of retail Colm Johnson; and Booker’s managing director of best food logistics for LGBTQ+ Paul Whyte.

Raymond Acquah, area manager and chair of race and ethnicity, said anyone can be a part of the network.  

“I am really excited about how we can support, inspire and motive our ethnically diverse colleagues so they really can be at their best at Booker,” he continued.
