A legal firm which has an office in Penrith has been awarded the prestigious Investors in People Gold accreditation.
EMG Solicitors has been handed the gold standard following a rigorous assessment process.
Gold is awarded to organisations that demonstrate a consistent commitment to people management, training and development as well as a strong culture of valuing their people.
Only a small proportion of organisations achieve gold status, placing EMG Solicitors among the top tier of employers nationally.
This latest recognition follows a string of key milestones for the firm, including achieving B Corp certification last year and being named in The Times and Sunday Times UK 100 Best Places to Work 2024.
Ian Burke, head of people and culture at EMG Solicitors, said: “We are incredibly proud to have achieved the Investors in People Gold accreditation.
“It’s a powerful endorsement of the culture we’ve built at EMG, one which is centred around support, learning and development and a genuine belief in the value of our people.
“From our recruitment and onboarding through to leadership, wellbeing and training and development, we’ve worked hard to create an environment where colleagues feel supported and inspired.
“And to have that recognised externally at such a high level is hugely rewarding. It’s a credit to the entire team who bring our values to life every single day.”
Emma Gaudern, CEO, added: “We’re absolutely delighted to have achieved Investors in People Gold which is such a powerful reflection of the culture we’ve worked hard to build over the past 11 years.
“At EMG, our people are everything and this award recognises the belief we have in one another, the trust we place in our teams and the energy and care we bring to supporting both our clients and each other.
“Our values aren’t just words on a wall, they guide how we show up, how we grow, and how we succeed together, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished.”
