THE 2024 INCLUSION IN AWARDS

The spectacular Indigo at the O2 played host to a wonderful evening of celebration on Tuesday 5th November, as we held our inaugural Awards, powered by WiHTL & Diversity in Retail.

 The Awards, brilliantly hosted by June Sarpong OBE, spotlighted the individuals, teams and organisations that are leading the way in inclusion initiatives within HTL and Retail. They are the most distinguished awards dedicated entirely to inclusion within these industries, and are more than just accolades; they pay testament to the hard work and dedication that goes into creating inclusive workplaces. It was clear from the high number of nominations, and the incredibly impressive range of achievements on show amongst the shortlisted individuals, organisations and initiatives, that some incredibly high standards and best practices are being set.

 “Receiving over 200 entries in our inaugural year is a powerful testament to the dedication and depth of commitment to advancing inclusion across the Hospitality, Travel, Leisure and Retail industry,” said Tea Colaianni, Founder and Chair of inclusion in. “Each winner represents a gold standard of excellence in their category, embodying an unwavering passion and desire to drive real change. We’re incredibly proud of all the finalists and look forward to even more inspiring entries in 2025 as we continue to raise the bar for inclusive practices.”
