Mrs Diana Oakes

I'm an accomplished communications professional, with over 25 years' experience in news and entertainment journalism, PR, internal communications (large corporate and third sector) and DE&I (especially Disability and Accessibility, Ethnicity and Cultural Heritage, and Menopause), working as a Communications Lead at Lloyds Banking Group until 13 Aug 2024.

I deliver various courses, webinars and workshops, in person or remote, through my self-employed business, Diana Oakes Communications, and I'm available for various communications and DE&I consultancy projects on request.
