The inspiring organisations that achieve a place in our Top 100 Index, demonstrate excellent levels of FREDIE: Fairness, Respect, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement; and clearly demonstrate what brilliant employers they are.

We also want to thank everyone who has participated and been involved in making the event happen – our judging panel, our speakers, our award presenters, the band, our exceptional AV and photography teams and the staff at the Hotel Ibis, we thank you for your support and your efforts to make the evening as fantastic as it was.

We would also like to say a special thanks to Dr Hanif Malik, who did a fantastic job as our Master of Ceremonies for the evening.
