This year’s awards event is promising to be the biggest and best we have done; we’re very excited to be hosting this year’s Grand Awards in London – the nerve centre of the country”.
Now in its 3rd year, the annual awards promote, encourage and champion the hard work of organisations and individuals; providing a top quality opportunity where judges and guests come together to share their successes and achievements, as they continue work to improve the equality, diversity and inclusion practices within organisations across the UK.
The National Centre for Diversity will also announce the 2018 Top 100 Index during the evening, as well as winners of the organisational and individual awards.
