Paul Devoy, CEO, Investors in People, said: “Our celebration events present fantastic opportunities for members of our community to come together to celebrate the success of organisations in our community, share best practice and learn from experts in the field of people development.

“I am looking forward to shining a spotlight on the brilliant work that is currently taking place in the North of England across all sectors, and as we continue to engage with customers and stakeholders alike, I have no doubt that this part of the UK, its businesses and its employers will continue to lead the way in high performance.”

With Investors in People Platinum accreditation the highest accolade that can be achieved, currently held by only 6 per cent of accredited organisations globally, it is also credit to the current thriving business scene in the North, that eight organisations have recently been awarded the Platinum standard.
