Award success for HR and diversity specialist

A Newport consultancy that works with executive boards and management teams supporting their development and growth and advising them on gender, diversity and inclusivity matters is celebrating its run of successes at awards this year.

Teresa Boughey, founder and MD of Jungle HR and Jungle Diversity, has been announced as a finalist in the Midlands BCC (Business and Community Charity) Awards in the Most Influential Business Person of the Year category. 

This category recognises not only the successful business they run but showcases how they inspire others around them, how they demonstrate their authority in their field and how they have the gravitas to be noticed and respected by others.  

This success follows Teresa being named as a regional finalist for the Midlands Female Entrepreneur in the Forward Ladies National Awards. 

Earlier this year, she also won the “Woman Who Achieves – Change Champion for Women in Business” Award for the second year running and she was listed as one of the top 100 Female Entrepreneurs in the peak b’s list f:Entreprenurs list.

Teresa said: “Wow, what a year so far!  I’m very honoured to be nominated and then shortlisted for the work that I do championing diversity and equality and acting as a positive role model for businesswomen and female entrepreneurs. My mission is to help over 10,000 companies to create an Inclusive workplace culture where they feel respected and valued for their unique difference.”

Teresa is the creator of the tribe5 Diversity & Inclusion Methodology™ which provides a framework to help organisations assess and progress on their diversity and inclusion journey. 

Earlier this year Teresa’s book ‘Closing the Gap – 5 steps to creating an Inclusive Culture’, based on the tribe5 principles, reached Amazon number one bestseller in three categories - HR and Personnel Management, Business and Finance Reference (Kindle Store) and Human Resource Management.

This year so far Teresa has been a judge at two business awards, a speaker at several International Women’s Day events, keynote speaker at the Festival of Global People in London, joined the Black Country Chamber of Commerce (BCCC) Women in Leadership Steering Group committee, spoke at the BCCC Women in Business launch event and will be speaking at Shropshire Council’s Leadership Conference in September.

Award winners for the 12 categories of the MBCC Awards will be announced at a black-tie event which attracts over 450 guests at Aston Villa Football club in November.
