Managing Director, Sion Pritchard expressed his gratitude toward the visitors and the thousands of people who frequent the facility.

Mr Pritchard said: "We celebrate Pride every day across the company, but it was special to bring everyone together for one day, to give back to our community.

"We are an open and diverse business and believe all organisations should have that ethos, to promote inclusion and unity, celebrate diversity and to ensure employees can be their true selves.
