Leadership development company contracted to support Northumbria Uni

Parity Professionals, the recruitment and learning and development division of UK-based information and marketing technology group Parity Group, has been awarded a two year contract by Northumbria University.

Parity Professionals will run its Senior Leadership Programme combining interactive learning, innovative facilitated learning and coaching to support leaders at the university.

Northumbria is currently investing in both its staff and future students, with the university this week pledging over £3m to enable disadvantaged students to enrol in master’s degrees.

Colin Lauder, Parity Professionals’ managing director of learning and development services, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for Parity Professionals. Through our work in the education sector, we understand how the market is evolving and those institutions with strong, well rounded leaders will be the ones that succeed.

“We are delighted to be working with Northumbria University and we are looking forward to supporting its leaders along their development journey.”
