The entry clearly articulates a clear purpose and how strongly this purpose appears to be embedded into the culture .A particular highlight for me is the investment in developing leadership skills through the Management Academy. Overall, this is a well-rounded entry that for me covers the key areas of creating an inspiring and motivating culture.

Evidence of strong actions internally and externally. Particularly like the focus on apprenticeships, equitable pay, the Black British Book Festival which is creating impactful change across the industry and making the publishing industry accessible, and the bookseller training programme. Going above and beyond. Well done.

Your purpose and culture are defined clearly and this is strong as are the sections on leadership, wellbeing and inclusion on which you have made very impressive leaps forward. On inclusion I particularly like the equitable approach to non hierarchy, mentoring programmes and training programmes.
