Chloe launched the Wickes Balance for the Better Network in 2019 and continues to lead it. She holds colleague listening events, mentors two women internally and uses the network to amplify women’s voices. Chloe has worked with the leadership team to understand their role as gender allies and sponsors of female talent, launching the Gender Ally program open to all colleagues. Since launching in September 2021, they now have over 120 allies. In December 2021, she launched Wickes’ period positive campaign aimed to normalize conversations on the topic, remove the stigma around it and make period products available free of charge to those who need them. Wickes is also trialling flexible working for Retail Managers. In May of this year, she was recognized in the 2022 Role Models for Inclusion in Retail Index for her contribution to Inclusion in Retail by working with companies that have signed their charter to drive their gender diversity and make meaningful changes for women.
