Diversity is a core element of our strategic aims; we want to broaden the office sector and encourage people from all backgrounds to pursue a career whether that is in design, construction or management. 

 

The BCO is also committed to ensuring as far as possible that the Board of Management reflects the growing diversity of our membership. We actively aim to increase diversity across our committees.
