This commitment reaffirms our full support for Lesbian, Gay, Bi and Trans (LGBT+) employees, empowering them to be their authentic, true selves at work and underscores our dedication to the local community.

Several Siemens Mobility employees stepped up to volunteer and show their support at this year's Goole Pride. Their enthusiastic involvement serves as a Siemens commitment to creating an inclusive environment that celebrates everyone and promotes equity and diversity

Mark Speed, General Manager of Siemens Mobility’s Goole Rail Village said "As we proudly lend our support to Goole Pride for a third consecutive year, Siemens Mobility continues to champion diversity and recognise the immense value it brings to our teams. Our commitment lies in fostering an inclusive environment where every employee can authentically express themselves and unlock their true potential.”

“The participation of our team members throughout the day was inspiring. From those who laced up their shoes and joined the Rainbow Park Run to our dedicated volunteers who selflessly gave their time, the energy and passion on display was truly remarkable.”

“Together, we continue to create a workplace that celebrates individuality and embraces the power of unity. Through events like Goole Pride, we aim to change perceptions on LGBT+ matters and celebrate our LGBT+ colleagues."

Goole Pride kicked off with a burst of energy, as enthusiastic Siemens Mobility employees proudly sported vibrant and colourful clothing for the eagerly anticipated Rainbow Run at West Park. More than just a spectacle of colour this event symbolised pride and unity, bringing together hundreds of individuals to walk, run, and stand in solidarity, showing their support and commitment to this fantastic community event.

Afterwards, the opening ceremony took place on the Siemens Mobility sponsored stage and the official event commenced. Councillor Anne Handly alongside PRIDE representatives opened the event primarily organised by Goole’s LGBT+ youth groups.

It was a day of celebration as colleagues and community members joined together to celebrate diversity and inclusion. They enthusiastically participated in giveaways and exciting games at the Siemens Mobility stall, ensuring that the celebrations continued with full vibrancy throughout the day.

Not only does Siemens Mobility support Goole Pride but also Ashby Pride and Chippenham Pride. This is a prime example of how Siemens Mobility’s LGBT+ employee network works with the business improve LGBT+ visibility, change perceptions on LGBT+ matters and celebrate our LGBT+ colleagues.
