Vacuum specialist Leybold UK shortlisted for Composites UK 2022 Industry Awards

The industry association aims to recognise those companies whose results improve people's lives and support society.

Commitment to inclusion and well-being
This year's Industry Award in the Social Impact category is open to companies that have made a special commitment to diversity, inclusion and the mental health and wellbeing of their employees. Ian Dorman, General Manager Leybold UK, says: "To be nominated in a category that recognises our efforts in these areas in particular means a lot to the team and is a very important recognition if our well-being initiatives."

Inclusive welcome culture
"The selection alone recognises our commitment towards sustainable working practices," HR Manager Sarah Cogswell emphasises, "We support our employees by fostering an inclusive culture where they are welcome to bring their whole personality to work." The Industry Award in the category Social Impact is therefore also a great incentive for Leybold UK to consistently continue on this path.
