It is an enormous honour and privilege to stand before you as the 10th Master of the Company of HR Professionals. We celebrate our modern company this evening in a nearly 1000-year-old tradition.
I would like to start by thanking the Master and Clerk of the Worshipful Company of Grocers for hosting tonight’s event in this beautiful hall. I would also like to thank the Gallant Clerk Karen, Peter, and Debs and Mary in the clerking team for all the amazing work they do and for making this evening happen.
The Company of HR Professionals is proud to announce that it has signed the UK Armed Forces Covenant on Wednesday 19th April 2023, demonstrating its commitment to acknowledging and understanding the needs of the Armed Forces community.
Can I begin by thanking the Master and Clerk of the Worshipful Company of Butchers for hosting tonight’s event in this beautiful hall.
One upside of the current tight labour market is surely that we have begun to realise just how important some roles are and hopefully affording those in the hospitality industry, as well as others, a greater level of appreciation and respect. Tonight, I am sure you will agree they have it in buckets.
