Celebrate diversity and inclusion at the East Midlands Leadership Awards
Does your company have true diversity and inclusion champion?
Then why not enter them in our annual search for the East Midlands’ best leaders.
Sam Metcalf, editor at TheBusinessDesk.com, said: “Organisations are benefiting from having a diverse workforce at every level and in creating an environment where everyone has a voice. Those shortlisted will have championed diversity and inclusion, whether inside their organisation or as part of an outside group or initiative, and worked to improve the opportunities for any under-represented group.
Nominations are now open for the the East Midlands Leadership Awards 2025, the sixth edition of our popular annual celebration, which will highlight the people that are role models within their organisations and raise the bar for their competitors. The winners will show the qualities of extraordinary leadership and be able to demonstrate the positive impact this has had.
Sam Metcalf, East Midlands editor at TheBusinessDesk.com, said: “Great leaders change their organisations and they can also change their sectors and regions.
“But what we understand as great leadership has changed. There is now a much greater demand on leaders to be accessible and visible, and there is a much broader range of leadership styles.
“The East Midlands Leadership Awards 2025 will showcase those individuals whose leadership is having a significant impact and delivering fantastic outcomes.”
