his year’s awards were held against a backdrop of significant global change and complexity. Fiona Murchie


encouraged


attendees to engage in meaningful dialogue, share


insights, and make the most of networking opportunities throughout the evening. She explained how important it was to build connections, especially in difficult times. Fiona referenced the thought-provoking discussions held earlier in the day during the Global Leaders Forum, which had debated the future of global mobility with a distinguished panel of thought leaders and experts across the industry, facilitated by journalist Marianne Curphey. Highlights from the Forum are available via video and now feature on both the Relocate Global and Think Global People platforms and are included in a magazine supplement. Attendees


at the awards dinner represented a


wide variety of global mobility, international leaders, entrepreneurs and educators, with many coming from the United States, Spain, Ireland and other parts of Europe to receive their award. The awards were facilitated by Jayne Constantinis, experienced BBC TV announcer and business reporter on BBC World. The annual Think Global People & Relocate Awards


showcased and celebrated achievement across the dynamic international management, HR and mobility sectors, and it was fitting that the keynote speaker for the evening was Professor Dame Vlatka Ariaana Hlupic, author and creator of The Management Shift. Professor Hlupic’s work is transforming the way organisations operate and how leaders manage their people and the culture of their organisation. A distinguished academic and award-winning advisor to CEOs, she is also an author, entrepreneur, and advocate for healthy workplace culture. Just two months prior to the event, she was honoured with a damehood for her exceptional contributions to leadership and transformation. The Head Judge for the awards was Dr Sue Shortland,


who led a panel of independent experts representing the diverse sectors that shape the modern global workforce – ranging from mobility and business to HR, technology, and education. Her leadership and professionalism ensured a rigorous and inclusive judging process.


A NIGHT OF CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE & INNOVATION The Think Global People & Relocate Awards continues to champion outstanding achievements, fostering a community committed to purposeful leadership, innovation, and the wellbeing of globally mobile professionals and their families. Starting off the awards, Jayne Constantinis noted how the original building Glaziers Hall was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666, and it then took 300 years to relocate to the current building close to London Bridge. The venue was steeped in history and had spectacular views over the River Thames towards the City of London and Fishmongers Hall, having originally been sited at Fye Foot Lane near Cannon Street before it was burned down.
