Chorley based True Bearing Chartered Financial Planners, has won Gold Employer of the Year at the Investors In People Awards 2018 for the category 50 to 249 employees.

True Bearing was the first Independent Financial Planners in the UK to achieve the Gold Standard Investors in People award and has held this status for 7 consecutive years. This was the first year that the firm entered the awards. It was an opportunity to benchmark against high performing organisations, not just within the UK but on a global scale.

Senior management has concentrated their efforts on developing their existing employees and recruiting talented staff to join their team in order to future proof their business.

Paul  Devoy, head of Investors in People, commented: “This year’s Investors in People Awards were an inspirational celebration of best practice across our international community. It was fantastic to see so many worthy organisations nominated for outperformance in their approach to people management. I commend True Bearing for their dedication to improving the quality of work for their employees. Congratulations to True Bearing on becoming 2018’s Gold Employer of the Year.” Not happy to rest on their laurels, the firm is working toward Investors In People Platinum Award.
