Virgin Money

At Virgin Money there is an 'all year-round celebration of Black History and Black excellence'. At the heart of this is our incredible colleague network Embrace ❤️ Our network co-chair, Ugo Eboh, said Embrace 'have championed this from the forefront to make sure that ethnicity matters at Virgin Money'.  Embrace will be taking all of our colleagues on an insightful journey by sharing personal stories of resilience, hosting an event with Black Professional Scotland and other opportunities to get involved and celebrate Black History Month. But it’s not just about this month. Supporting Black talent year-round is important to us at Virgin Money. ⭐ We teamed up with The 10,000 Interns Foundation. This summer, 21 amazing Black, and Able interns joined us to learn new skills and gain experience, we are delighted that some of them have now joined us in permanent roles also. ⭐ Our internal career sponsorship programme supports Black colleagues to progress in their careers with us.  ⭐ This year we were a proud sponsor of the Black Talent Awards, which recognise the incredible achievements of Black professionals across the UK.  ⭐ We are also proud signatories of the Black Talent Charter. #VirginMoney #BlackHistoryMonth #DiversityandInclusion
