The ELEVATE Event 2025

The theme for the day was Transforming HR in 2025 and the goals were for everyone to Learn, Connect and Be Inspired. We came together in a beautiful venue in central London. Wonderful guests, lovely food and a day to inspire us all.

All our guests were welcomed by none other than Fay Wallis - superstar host of the successful HR podcast, HR Coffee Time.

Doors opened at 0830 for a relaxed breakfast and an opportunity to say hello to people you hadn’t met in person before and to make new contacts. Pastries, avocado on toast, yoghurt pots….all sponsored by the wonderful team at Evidenced.

Hosted by the fabulous Jess Pressland from JP Training, who kept us entertained, smiling through the day and made sure we were on track! Can’t wait to welcome her back next year for another fabulous day! “Pump and Go!” - IYKYK

SARAH MAY - Independent HR Consultant / Founder - MayDay HR - Our fantastic first speaker suggesting resolution policies are better than grievances policies!

AMY BLICK - Principal HR Consultant at ExhilHRate - Reminded us of the importance of linking the people strategy to commercial goals

PERRY TIMMS - Chief Energy Officer and Founder: People & Transformational HR Ltd. Honoured to be joined by the wonderful Perry Timms who shared his insights into HR Operating Models of the future. We had a fab presentation in the morning and interactive workshops in the afternoon.
