Diversity within Newsom Consulting

As an organisation, Newsom Consulting is progressive when it comes to  diversity and inclusion. 50% of the Newsom Consulting team are women,  with 17% being ethnically diverse. In having a diverse team ourselves,  we reduce unconscious bias by providing an inclusive culture within the  workforce.



However, having a diverse workforce is not enough in  itself. Managing diversity and developing a culture of inclusion is a  continuous process of improvement, not a one-off initiative.

Diversity & Inclusion

Memberships & Affiliations

We are very proud to work with several different industry groups and  networks in order to expand our contact base and leverage the talent of  so many great individuals across Transport and Infrastructure.
