Inclusive Awards 2022

Nick Goddard

On 1st December in Manchester, The Inclusive Awards arranged by Inclusive Companies celebrated organisations and people in the business community who have gone above and beyond to improve the lives of others in workplaces and communities around them.

The Inclusive Awards recognise employers that unite workforces and challenge discrimination, applauding those for their work against inequality. The event was hosted by TV Presenter and Journalist Naga Munchetty.


Due to the pandemic, this was the first time these awards have been run since 2019 and it was truly inspirational to be in the company of so many who work tirelessly to remove barriers and put diversity at the heart of their workplaces.


ABSTRACT were thrilled to be shortlisted in the D&I Consultancy Award category and our Non-Executive Director, Sue Liburd MBE, a previous winner of the Champion of Inclusion Award in 2019, was delighted and honoured to present the Chief Executive of The Year to Caroline Frankum, Global CEO of Kantar Profiles.


The Inclusive Awards also announced their Diversity Power List, honouring 50 of the most profound champions of inclusion, diversity professionals and D&I Leaders across the UK and The Top 50 Inclusive UK employers list. 


We are proud to have been recognised by The Inclusive Awards. Congratulations to all the winners, shortlisted nominees and the individuals and organisations recognised. If we can help then please do get in touch.


Thanks also to Paul Sesay, CEO and Founder of the Inclusive Awards, and his team. The full list of winners and announcements is here: https://inclusiveawards.com/2022winners/
