The Founding Director of Lancaster-based consultancy Groundswell Innovation has been shortlisted for We Are The City's Rising Stars Awards 2019. 

Jane Dalton is one of 10 UK finalists for the Champion award category, which celebrates the encouragement of female talent in the workplace. 

Speaking about the award, Dalton commented:

"I'm absolutely thrilled to have been shortlisted for this prestigious London Awards programme.  Last year Groundswell won a place on Santander's Growth Business Mentoring scheme and this year we have been recognised for our ongoing support of the Northern Power Women campaign to accelerate gender diversity in the workplace, from the North.  As a company we continue to go from strength to strength. 

We Are The City's Rising Stars Awards are particularly important to us as a company, because they celebrate diversity.  We wholeheartedly support diversity of thinking and perspective within Groundswell, because that means we can create much more powerful recommendations for clients.  Through diversity of thought we get stronger innovation and far better returns on investment."

The Rising Stars awards ceremony takes place in London on 3rd July 2019.
