NCFD FREDIE AWARDS 2023 WINNERS

NCFD FREDIE Awards 2023 – celebrating the very best champions of Fairness, Respect, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement!

In response to the prevailing cost of living crisis, we’ve made the difficult decision not to go ahead with the FREDIE Awards Ceremony this year. Our commitment to recognising and honouring outstanding efforts in fostering diversity and inclusion remains unwavering and the publication of the 2023 Top 100 Most Inclusive UK Workplaces is a platform to highlight and celebrate the remarkable achievements of everyone who has committed themselves to building inclusive cultures.

Congratulations to every organisation and individual who works tirelessly to make their workplaces better, even if you have not placed in the Top 100 Most Inclusive UK Workplaces this year, you should be proud of your efforts.

We’re excited to announce that plans for the 2024 FREDIE Award Ceremony are already underway, and we look forward to bringing our community together once again to celebrate Fairness, Respect, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement (FREDIE).
