Investors in People to host celebration event in Leeds

Investors in People is to host its latest series of celebration events in Leeds this October (3rd), with organisations from across the North of England set to be recognised for their dedication to achieving organisational success by investing in their people.

With over 30 organisations from Leeds and the surrounding areas, including Hays Travel, Involve North West, Nissan and Roq all obtaining Investors in People accreditation between April 2022 and March 2023, Investors in People has been an ever-present in the North throughout the last three decades.

Being held at the Double Tree by Hilton in Leeds City Centre on the 3rd, the event will focus on organisations that have achieved accreditation and joined the Investors in People community; with a variety of speakers including Sarah Jane Riggott (COO at Roq), Louise Bailey (talent and culture manager at Beyondly) and Kelvin Simpson (CEO at Advance Learning Partnership).

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.

These Platinum accredited organisations are Advance Learning Partnership Trust, Beyondly, Ripple Developments, Roq and Star Academic Trust (t/a Tauheedul Islam Boys High School), Ripple, Muckle LLP and The Sovini Group.

Investors in People Platinum accreditation recognises exceptional people management and is the highest accolade that can be achieved against the Investors in People Standard. Platinum is only awarded to organisations that have demonstrated the very highest levels of people management practice aligned to strategy, ethos and values.
