We’ve always prided ourselves on being an award-winning business, and over the past few months the tally keeps on growing! We’re celebrating after scooping a clutch of top accolades over recent months. The company, which manages the outsourced HR for some of the North West’s leading businesses- has won three top national business awards, including:

  • HR Consultants of the Year award for central England 2020/21 in the England Prestige Awards
  • HR Consultancy of the Year – Corporate LiveWire Global Awards 2020.
  • Most Outstanding HR Services Provider in the UK 2020 in the Global Excellence Awards
  • Most Trusted HR provider in the North West 2020 in the UK Enterprise awards

All four accolades celebrate small and medium-sized enterprises that have thrived and have proven their success over the past 12 months. Winners are selected via a two step process, beginning with a nomination and are then judged on a range of criteria including marketing and branding, business growth methods, online and offline exposure, customer experience and approach to new ideas. They come hot on the heels of awards previously won this year:

  • HR Consultants of the Year award for central England – Prestige Awards, 2020/21
  • Theo Paphitis Small Business Sunday award April 2020

Managing Director Niel Cope said:

“It’s an absolute honour to win these fantastic awards. We know we do a great job for our clients, and to be recognised and rewarded on a national level confirm this to the wider business community.”

In addition, People Matters were awarded the Theo Paphitis Small Business Sunday award, where the company was selected by the Dragon’s Den star from thousands of applicants to join an exclusive #sbs club, opening up a wealth of networking and publicity opportunities.
