CHPD client, Gate Gourmet (UK& Ireland) won the award for Talent Management at the recent Personnel Today Awards 2009. CHPD has worked with Gate Gourment for almost two years.

Commenting on Gate Gourmet's win, one of the judges, Jo Hennessy of Roffey Park, said:  "This talent management programme was clearly linked to organisational and business priorities. There was a good focus on past performance and potential, and there are early indicators of organisational benefits."

Simon Foster, client solutions director at CHPD said: "We're delighted that Gate Gourmet has been recognised in this way and proud of our contribution to their success. Our work for Gate Gourmet focused on 'raising the game' for their talent, helping them to attract and retain talent in order to drive their business forward. There was a real focus about thinking more strategically and flexibly, and in particular to being innovative with solutions to problems. They recognised that changing times need changing approaches, and this is what we helped them to do."
