Diamond Bus North West in local awards success

Diamond Bus North West has been named Bolton News Awards finalist this year for both Company of the year award and the Wellbeing Award for 2023.

The company, which was winner of the Company of the year award in 2022, missed out on the top company slot this year but is over the moon about the Wellbeing Award, which focuses on how a company recognises and champions the incredible steps taken to create an environment for their employees to succeed and gain job satisfaction.

The award isn’t the only thing Diamond Bus is celebrating. In June 2023, Diamond Bus North West gained recognition by becoming the first bus operator in Greater Manchester to be awarded membership status with the Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter. This is a scheme in Greater Manchester that is working to improve employment standards across the region. The Charter Criteria offers secure work, flexible work, pay, engagement and voice, recruitment, people management and health and wellbeing.

Emma Woods, Group Head of HR for Diamond Bus, says: “Winning the Wellbeing Award at the Bolton News Awards 2023 is a real achievement and builds on a fantastic year for the company. I am delighted that we have been recognised for all our efforts to create/provide an exceptional environment for our employees. I am looking forward to continuing building on the last 12 months achievements and will continue to focus on our People agenda and driving forward Employee Engagement.”
