“It has no doubt been a challenging 18 months, and so I’m super excited that we have been shortlisted for two categories in the prestigious Investors in People Awards – Leader of the Year and Best People Team.  It’s an incredible achievement and one that I do not take lightly. Thank you Investors in People and good luck to all the finalists.”

Reaching the final shortlist is a testament to the amazing commitment these organisations are making to make work better for their people, and they truly deserve this recognition.”
