Why did you enter the Investors in People 2025 Awards?

We entered the Investors in People Awards to recognise and celebrate the people who are at the heart of our organisation and make it what it is today. Our culture is built on our core values of honesty, integrity and trust whilst also incorporating collaboration and continuous improvement. Entering the awards has given us the opportunity to showcase how much we value and invest in our people alongside being able to benchmark ourselves against other organisations that share the same commitment to putting people first.

Being shortlisted is an honour and a proud moment for everyone in our organisation. It’s a powerful recognition of the work we’ve done to create a positive, inclusive and high-performing culture. It’s a meaningful recognition of the work we’ve done to create a culture where people feel respected, valued and empowered to succeed

What would it mean to your organisation to win an Investors in People 2025 Award?

Winning would be a milestone moment for us. Our CEO has always had a desire to be a Destination Employer and winning this award would be a defining moment on this journey. It would not only validate the efforts of every individual who contributes to our culture, but also inspire us to keep pushing forward. It would be a celebration of our people-focused approach and a signal to our wider community that great culture drives great outcomes
