Wales-headquartered Hodge is to become the head sponsor of this year’s Pride Cymru parade. The Pride Cymru 2024 event takes place in Cardiff over two days on 22 and 23 June. It is Wales’s biggest celebration of equality and diversity. It is expected that the event will host more than 50,000 people all coming together to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.
Dave Landen, CEO of Hodge, said: “Hodge is committed to equality diversity and inclusion and so becoming the headline sponsor of the Pride Cymru 2024 parade is a perfect fit for us. In 2018 we established an equality, diversity and inclusion group made up of colleagues from across Hodge. They continually review our processes and practices, and work hard to ensure that we as a business are doing all we can to support our colleagues and community. Our Colleague Alliance also works hard to ensure best practice to support and reflect the diverse workforce we have here at Hodge.

“We are all really excited for the weekend and there will be a large number of Hodge colleagues at the parade to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, wave the flag for diversity, and of course have a great time.”
Gian Molinu, Chair of Pride Cymru, added: “We’re delighted and grateful for the generous support of Hodge for our Pride Cymru parade this year. Hodge is a new sponsor for Pride Cymru. We are thrilled to have them on board and hope that this is the beginning of us working together for many years to come.”
