We’re delighted to share that we brought home two awards at the Yorkshire Young Professional Awards. These awards celebrate the rising talent, innovation and leadership shaping the future of Yorkshire’s business community.
The evening – hosted at Headingley Stadium, Leeds – brought together exceptional young professionals from across the region, and for our team to be recognised among them is fantastic.
This double award win reflects the dedication and expertise that our people bring to work every single day. It highlights not only the quality of the services we deliver but also the culture we’ve built – one that values collaboration, continuous improvement and supporting one another.

Ammaarah Patel, Business Services and Tax Executive commented on her win: “I had the privilege of adding Insider Media Young Professionals Awards – Apprentice of the Year to my bio. It’s been an overwhelming yet exciting few days, and more than ever, I’m grateful for the people around me who have supported, encouraged, and challenged me to get to this point. To top off an amazing evening, sharing the stage with Matthew Burton, my former head teacher, was a special moment and a reminder of how far my journey has come.”
