Based in Manchester, Dan has been involved in Co-op’s LGBTQ+ colleague network since August 2021. Starting off leading the development and execution of the networks comms and engagement strategy, he was promoted to Co-Chair in October 2024. During this time, Dan’s rebranded the network from its previous name (Respect), has increased its membership to over 550 colleagues, delivered Co-op’s largest participation at Pride to date and helped the network to be recognised externally by several awarding bodies, amongst many other achievements. His passion and drive has also resulted in Co-op introducing policy changes, learning opportunities and celebration events, to help deliver the networks mission of creating a safer and more inclusive workplace for all identities.

Wedi’i leoli ym Manceinion, mae Dan (ef / ef) wedi bod yn rhan o rwydwaith cydweithwyr LHDTQ+ y Co-op ers mis Awst 2021. Gan ddechrau trwy arwain datblygiad a gweithrediad strategaeth gyfathrebu ac ymgysylltu’r rhwydwaith, cafodd ei ddyrchafu’n Gyd-gadeirydd ym mis Hydref 2024. Yn ystod yr amser hwn, ail-frandiodd Dan y rhwydwaith o’i enw blaenorol (Respect), cynyddodd ei aelodaeth i dros 550 o gydweithwyr, cyflawnodd gyfranogiad mwyaf y Co-op yn Pride hyd yma a helpodd y rhwydwaith i gael ei gydnabod yn allanol gan sawl corff dyfarnu, ymhlith llawer o gyflawniadau eraill. Mae ei angerdd a’i ysgogiad hefyd wedi arwain at y Co-op yn cyflwyno newidiadau polisi, cyfleoedd dysgu a digwyddiadau dathlu, i helpu i gyflawni cenhadaeth y rhwydwaith o greu gweithle mwy diogel a chynhwysol i bob hunaniaeth.
