Ashby-based company Siemens Mobility says it was 'proud' to support last month's Pride Day in the town centre.

A dedicated team of 15 volunteers from Siemens' Pride Employee Network played a vital role throughout the day. 

The international Transportation Systems company says their enthusiasm and engagement with the community spread positivity and reinforced Siemens' unwavering support for the LGBT+ community.

Rob Morris, Joint CEO for Siemens Mobility UK & Ireland said "We're proud to have sponsored Ashby's second Pride event. 

"Siemens Mobility recognises that diversity is a strength, and we are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels included and experiences a true sense of belonging and equality.

"Supporting Ashby Pride is another way we demonstrate this commitment."

Siemens Mobility says it has continued to demonstrate its strong commitment to fostering a culture of belonging and equality by sponsoring Ashby Pride. 

The event attracted over 3,000 people from Ashby and surrounding areas, creating a vibrant and positive atmosphere.

Also, the company adds the Siemens marquee was a major hit, showcasing the rail industry to children of all ages, with exciting games, STEM activities, piñata fun and plenty of giveaways. 

A spokesperson said: "It's safe to say attendees loved the freebie selection as well. 

"From Siemens wristbands to temporary pride tattoos, everyone had a great time!"
