Companies House named Employer of the Year at Wales HR Awards
We've been named Employer of the Year at the 2019 Wales HR Awards, which recognises and celebrates the achievements of HR professionals across Wales.
Launched in 2017, the awards ceremony is the flagship event of the Wales HR Network, a leading professional thought sharing and networking group created and run by Cardiff-based commercial law firm Darwin Gray and Acorn, Wales’ leading recruitment specialist.
Hosted by the BBC’s Sian Lloyd, the awards recognise the best HR professionals at all levels, from apprentices to directors, and organisations as a whole across various industry sectors in Wales – showcasing the commitment, hard work and achievements of individuals and teams within the HR profession over the last 12 months.
