Hannah Farmer

Hannah was appointed Co-Chair of the Proud Network at CBRE GWS 12 months ago, and has already grown the network to over 500 members in that time. This year the network is focusing on underrepresented subjects such as trans awareness and allowing conversations to happen in safe spaces , and aspiring to be a role model for employees to come out at work. To help progress this agenda Hannah published an online interview with a male colleague and his trans son, who transitioned female to male. The interview went out to 30,000 employees and represented a huge advancement within the business as something which had never been tackled before. Hannah’s proudest moment so far is hearing the volume of people who have now come out at work, , as well as having three employees who will be transitioning following the education, awareness, and freedom promoted by the Proud Network. Hannah is also involved in the Executive Steering Committee supporting the wider DE&I action plan for CBRE GWS.
