I love seeing people develop their knowledge, skills and influence across the business and am hugely passionate about keeping the people who are invested in what we’re doing feeling like they’re moving forward and progressing in their career.” Behind Local News, who organise the annual event added: "Emily is encouraging, inspiring and supportive and expertly navigates maintaining clear professional expectations and standards while still being very approachable.
