A shared commitment

Why we partner

At Macmillan Davies, we believe being part of the HR community means more than recruitment. We want to give back to the profession we have worked within for more than 45 years and support HR and People professionals throughout their careers.

Our partnerships allow us to bring together people, expertise and ideas from across our network. From events and shared insights to opportunities to connect, learn and develop, our aim is to provide something genuinely valuable to the HR community.

Louise shares that commitment to supporting and developing people, making her a natural partner for Macmillan Davies in Manchester.

Our work together

Louise and Macmillan Davies

Our partnership with Louise grew naturally from working together with our senior HR community in Manchester.

Louise recently joined us for a senior HR session, bringing her experience in leadership, executive coaching and organisational development to the conversation. The response to the session, and the discussions it generated amongst our network, highlighted the value Louise could bring to the wider Macmillan Davies HR community and led to the development of our preferred partnership.

Louise will continue to work with us as we develop future events and opportunities for senior HR and People leaders, while also sharing her experience with the next generation of the profession.

As part of this, she will join us for FuturExec: The Academy, leading Leading Boldly: Building Confidence for Your Future in HR.
