Our Diversity Team
Dave Massingham
Diversity and Equality Manager
David started his employment with Carillion, then Tarmac in 1979 as a general operative and progressed to the position of Works Manager. Prior to his secondment to the Carillion SkyBlue business in 2003 he had 20 years experience in the supervision and management of construction schemes, mainly on highways and major projects.
In his present role as the Diversity & Equality Manager for SkyBlue, David undertakes a wide range of duties and responsibilities which include working with local agencies, job centres in the employment, recruitment and training of local economically inactive, unrepresented or underprivileged groups.
Diversity Champions
The Champion is a representative of diversity in the branch and reports directly to Dave Massingham, SkyBlue Diversity and Equality Manager, regarding the branch’s efforts to get involved with local partners and give local people, local jobs.
Each of SkyBlue’s 13 nationwide branches has an assigned Diversity Champion. This person, from a resourcer to a consultant or a team leader, has been trained by our Diversity Manager on the current legislation and regulations as well as our policy for in-depth knowledge on the topic during a two-day workshop (on top of the training on equality & diversity that every employee goes through when they join the company).
The Diversity Champions play a vital role in building cohesive, long-lasting relationships with their clients to embrace and deliver diversity in the workplace. The role was set up to provide a route to delivering and implanting our diversity and equality strategy at a local level and across the UK.
