We’re a Finalist in the British HR Awards 2022

Nick Goddard

We are delighted to announce that we’ve been named a Finalist in two categories for the British HR Awards 2022 - SME of the Year and Consultancy of the Year.


With a range of categories including ‘Best Overall People Experience,’ ‘Wellness Initiative of the Year’ and ‘Rising Star of the Year’ the British HR Awards 2022 sets out to discover and celebrate the organisations and individuals that are truly passionate about delivering a world-class people experience.


This year, just over 100 entries were received from organisations across the UK, and so competition to be named a Finalist proved to be very tough. Firms taking part range from innovative start-ups to tech unicorns, global giants, not for profits and everything in between.


The British HR Awards 2022 judges include:


  • Mel Willsmore, People Director at Strike
  • Perry Timms, Chief Energy Officer at People and Transformational HR
  • Kelly Stokes, HR Director at Aldi UK
  • Hannah Reid, People Director at Apple
  • Melanie Punch, Head of UK Careers at Investec
  • Neil Piper, Chief People Officer at KFC
  • Daniel Kasmir, Chief People and Procurement Officer at TalkTalk
  • Nate Harwood, Founder at New Possible


We’ll find out if we’ve won at an awards ceremony in Central London on the 21st April 2022.


Nate Harwood, Founder of New Possible and British HR Awards judge said: “The quality and diversity of entries has made judging a real challenge, but also a great privilege. We’re immensely proud to recognise the organisations and individuals that are working hard to create exceptional people experiences. These leaders are fundamentally reimagining the future of work and helping to showcase British HR leadership on a truly global scale. Congratulations to all the Finalists.”


Andy Nicol, CEO of ABSTRACT, has said: "We are absolutely delighted to be confirmed as finalists in two categories for the British HR Awards 2022, for 'SME of the Year' and 'Consultancy of the Year'. We also congratulate all the other finalists on their achievement."
