Diversity And inclusion
We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive culture and providing a supportive working environment for all our colleagues.
We’re proud to be a family business with a people-first approach, and we’re committed to building a workplace where everyone feels respected, supported, and empowered to succeed.
By fostering an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered, we create a workplace where individuals are supported in their growth, and leadership pathways are accessible to all.
“Diversity is not just about numbers—it’s about culture. At TQ, we believe that talent, drive, and ambition are what truly matter in determining success. From employing people with the correct values and drive, to empowering and developing our existing team on a daily basis – our people are at the core of our business and make us what we are.
We know that traditionally, our sector has been male dominated. We’re changing that. As our workforce is becoming more diverse – generationally and culturally – we are focused on creating an inclusive workplace culture in which everyone feels equally respected and included. This way, we know our colleagues and teams feel more engaged and have a sense of belonging across the business.”
– Sophia Westerhuis Marshall, Director
Our Commitments
We’re actively working to make Tillicoultry Quarries more inclusive every day. That includes:
Fair Recruitment Processes
Ensuring equal opportunities begins with fair and transparent recruitment processes. At TQ, we evaluate all applicants based on their skills, qualifications, merit and character over gender, identity or beliefs. We provide regular training to managers to ensure fair recruitment practices are always adopted in recruiting and retaining top talent.
Retaining, and Developing Female Talent
We remain committed to taking meaningful action—ensuring that gender is never a limitation and that all individuals, regardless of background, have the support, encouragement, and opportunities they need to succeed.
We issue a Gender Pay Gap Report every year which increases transparency and drives continuous improvement in fairness and equality. Each year we celebrate women for their outstanding contribution to the business. Take a look at our International Women’s Day Celebrations this year.
Fostering a Culture of Inclusion
Our commitment to inclusion ensures that all team members have equal access to training and development opportunities, allowing them to progress and excel in their careers.
Empowering The Next Generation
We partner with schools and local organisations to open doors for young people from all backgrounds. These interactions provide us with valuable opportunities to promote the diverse range of career paths available, open to all. By broadening perspectives and showcasing real opportunities, we help to dismantle misconceptions and inspire future talent.
