“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 Central 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.”
