Diversity Monitoring

Kingscott Dix Limited is committed to providing a culture within the workplace that values the variety of contribution that is gained from people from different backgrounds and cultures.

The firm recognises the importance of recruiting the right people to complement the existing staff team, to enable the firm to provide a good quality service to current and future clients, both in relation to the level of technical knowledge required and the people skills required, to take account of the diversity of the firm’s client profiles.

We present below the results of our 2025 diversity monitoring in the Gloucester office. The results are as expected, given the range of clients and diversity of backgrounds for clients and staff alike within the firm’s geographical area of operation. Given the size of the workforce and the need to maintain confidentiality of the respondents, we have limited the disclosure in some areas where this confidentiality may be breached by deduction.
