Founded by communications professional, Fiona Lindsay, and human resources professional, Louise Jenkins-Lang, the Aberdeen-based company provides integrated leadership, wellbeing and communication solutions that promote a positive corporate wellbeing culture across clients’ organisations.
Believed to be the only finalist from the north of Scotland, this nomination recognises Lindsay & Lang’s ‘Developing the leadership conversation to support mental health and wellbeing’ programme, which empowers company leaders to engage in a meaningful way with their employees.
Over 950 leaders have participated to date, including those working in the energy, food & drink, transportation and logistics sectors across the UK, Europe, UAE, Malaysia, and Egypt.
It will now compete against the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), Marsh Commercial, and SSE plc. Other finalists on the night include John Lewis Partnership, Mercedes-Benz, NatWest Group, and the University of Oxford, while the full shortlist is available online.
Fiona Lindsay, director at Lindsay & Lang, said: “To have been nominated for these highly-respected awards is a wonderful achievement for any small business and is especially pleasing at this relatively early stage in our journey.
“You only need to look at the names of the other businesses that we’re competing against to realise the scale of the challenge in front of us. However, we’re not settling for reaching the shortlist and are quietly confident of doing well on the night and flying the flag for the whole of the north-east.”
Louise Jenkins-Lang, director at Lindsay & Lang, added: “We’ve worked tirelessly over the past two years to establish Lindsay & Lang as a provider of choice for people and culture solutions.
“This national recognition validates the work we’ve been doing to help clients overcome the challenges of the past year. We’re extremely grateful for their continued support and the engagement we’ve received from businesses of all sizes across the country.”
Lindsay & Lang has significant expertise in corporate wellbeing and has engaged with leaders and the wider workforce in response to challenges created by the pandemic.
Continued growth has seen the company appoint two associate directors, extend its reach across the UK, add new complementary services, and secure global contracts within the energy sector.
