Richard’s passion for inclusion is evident not only in his specialism of Tax and Financial Services, but also
within the wider business community. He has championed greater diversity, inclusion and equity for
over 20 years, and his passion to see more Black Heritage (BH) leaders and colleagues led to the
creation of KPMG’s BH Working Group to deliver a strategy focused on lasting change and results.
Results of this include a plan of commitments to double the number of BH leaders in the firm, and
increase the number of BH graduate recruits, as well as a project allocation overhaul to ensure BH
colleagues have greater exposure to high quality experiences. Richard sponsors the firm’s African and
Caribbean Network and plays an instrumental role in the delivery of the firm’s Black Lives Allyship
Programme which has reached over 700 colleagues, helping to create an open and inclusive
environment, while nurturing talent.
