We are incredibly proud to share that Embark has been recognised with three major honours at the East Midlands Chamber Derbyshire Business Awards.
Embark was named Collaboration of the Year, Education and Business Partnership of the Year, and crowned overall Business of the Year – a remarkable achievement that reflects the strength and impact of our work across the communities we serve.
These awards recognise the power of partnership at the heart of Embark. Whether through collaboration between our schools, our work with partners, or the relationships we build across our communities, we know that we achieve more together. Being recognised in these categories highlights the collective effort that underpins everything we do.
To be named Business of the Year is a particularly proud moment for our organisation. It is a testament to the dedication, passion and professionalism of colleagues across every part of Embark, and to the shared values that guide us each day.
Matt Crawford, Trust Leader at Embark Federation, said:
“I’m very proud of everyone in our organisation and it’s an honour to have been part of the business awards. We serve 27 schools currently and around 10,000 young people across Derbyshire. We are committed to giving them the very best. Our work with businesses plays a vital role in making this possible, and it is lovely to have been recognised on behalf of everyone in our organisation.”
As a growing family of schools, this recognition reflects our commitment to creating inclusive, ambitious environments where every young person is supported to thrive. It reinforces the importance of our collective approach and the difference we are making together.
We are grateful to the East Midlands Chamber for this recognition and incredibly proud of everyone who contributes to Embark. This achievement belongs to all of us.
