"I am really excited that Telent is sponsoring UK Black Business Week, supporting our Black Professionals Community. It demonstrates our commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and is a fantastic next step in our ED&I journey. Seeing colleagues embracing and committing to make our workplace truly inclusive is a real motivator behind my executive sponsorship of our ED&I programme."

Michael Adeniya, COO at UK Black Business Show

“I just want to say thank you to the whole Telent team for putting in such an incredible effort – not just in the week of the show but in the lead up to it as well, in terms of getting everyone on board, getting everyone bought in, and understanding what the mission is. It was brilliant to meet the Telent team as well as some of their family members, who came down to the event on Saturday. It’s amazing that you could make this not just a company thing but also a whole community experience. I look forward to working with you all again next year.”

Telent Black Professionals Community

Telent Communities play an integral role in supporting a One Telent culture. Our teams are spread out across the UK, and our Communities help to keep colleagues connected and supported.

Telent's Black Professionals Community supports colleagues in connecting across business areas. It offers a platform for professional and personal support, as well as a space for informal conversations and connections.

The group meets every two weeks and hosts a drop-in session where anyone is welcome to pop along and have a chat or discuss a specific topic.

Meet our ambassardors

Our Communities are led by volunteers from around the business, and provide a place for colleagues to connect, support, and engage with one another.

Daniel Meikle, Engineering Manager

"My career journey began humbly as an apprentice, ignited by a fervent desire to make my mark in technology. Through unwavering determination and continuous growth, I ascended to the pivotal role of overseeing asset management, entrusted with more than 150,000 valuable assets. I am dedicated to creating a more inclusive and diverse landscape in technology. My active involvement with the Greater London Authority has been instrumental in opening doors and creating opportunities for young black individuals aspiring to excel in the tech world. With a firm belief in the power of diversity and inclusivity, I strive to be a role model, inspiring others to pursue their dreams relentlessly."

Jess Corbett-Collins, Lead Bid Manager

"As Lead Bid Manager in Rail, I work with one of the hardest and kindest teams I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. One of the things I love most working in Telent as a bid manager, is that when we win a bid, we create physical and tangible improvements to the railway. Diversity and Inclusion is my other passion at Telent. I’ve been part of the ED&I Steering Group since June 2021, and chair the Black Professionals Community Group since it’s inception in October 2022. Sponsoring the UK Black Business Week has been a huge achievement for Telent and the BPCG, and I hope it’s the first of many!"
