Antonia Belcher Obe

Antonia is the founding Partner of MHBC, an independent building consultancy established in early 2007, and has 40 plus years’ experience in the construction and property industries. She transitioned in 2000 in a very male-dominated working environment, where there was no history or visible LGBT influences to draw on.

Recognised five years running as one of the OUTstanding/Financial Times Top 100 LGBT Business Executives, in 2014, 2015 and 2016, she was also recognised in 2016 as one of the City’s most inspiring women in the City A.M. Power 100 Women List.

HIV a growing issue in the trans community, particularly amongst trans women, and the fight and struggle for some to survive (and be the true person they know themselves to be) often leads them to greater risk and exposure to the virus.

She feels the time has come for senior people in the trans spectrum to be visible. She hopes to bring her personal trans background and her business and professional experience and knowledge to Terrence Higgins Trust, and to help ensure that the charity's trustees are reflective of its service users.
