London South East Colleges has been recognised nationally for its exceptional HR practices – receiving the CPL Team Excellence Award at the TIARA Talent Acquisition Awards 2025.
The TIARA Awards, run by TALiNT Partners, celebrate excellence, innovation and achievement across the UK’s top employers and talent acquisition teams. Last night's award ceremony, held in central London, brought together leading organisations from across multiple sectors to highlight the very best in people strategy, workplace culture and team performance.
LSEC was the only education provider shortlisted in its category, competing against high-profile national businesses including GAIL’s Bakery, Teradata, and The Telegraph.
Despite facing this tough competition, LSEC was named as the winner of the TeamExcellence Award, with judges noting the team’s commitment to talent acquisition through collaboration and staff engagement. This is testament to real sense of purpose the talent team at LSEC has in its creativity and innovation to fill hard to recruit teaching & support roles.
Speaking after the event, Janet Curtis-Broni, Group Chief People Officer at LSEC (part of the Elevare Civic Education Group), said:
“We are incredibly proud that our team has not only been recognised alongside some fantastic national organisations – but that we have been announced as the winner! Our People Team is committed to talent acquisition, supporting the organisation to get the very best people on board, along with ensuring excellent ongoing employee engagement. This is having a measurable impact across the organisation and we are delighted to celebrate this success.”
CEO of Elevare Civic Education Group, Dr Sam Parrett CBE, added:
“This accolade reflects LSEC’s commitment to organisational excellence – and I congratulate every team member, who I know are so dedicated to their roles. It is also fantastic to see our organisation representing our sector in these national awards – being the only education provider to have been shortlisted. Well done to everyone involved.”
