He added: “This has been a team effort, and our team, supervisory board, youth council, and the many, many IoH members who proudly posted online, wearing their Diversity Shields and saying #imin to supporting our aspirations for a more inclusive industry, deserve a round of applause and our thanks for helping us get this far.
