We have been Awarded Investors in People Gold Accreditation

Crombie Wilkinson, a leading North Yorkshire law firm, is proud to have achieved the prestigious Investors in People (IIP) Gold Accreditation—recognising outstanding commitment to employee development, engagement, and wellbeing.

Following a rigorous independent assessment, IIP praised the firm’s leadership, values-driven culture, and investment in people. Currently only 31% of the IIP accredited organisations hold the Gold Award and only 3% of the Gold Awards are made up of clients within the sector of Legal Activities, which impressively places Crombie Wilkinson among the UK’s top employers.

The accreditation highlights the firm’s focus on transparency, strong leadership, and continuous improvement. Initiatives such as the Crombie Wilkinson Management & Leadership Charter, inclusive network groups, and a clear approach to career progression were noted as particular strengths.

Managing Director Duncan Morter said:
"We are thrilled to receive IIP Gold. This reflects the hard work and dedication of our team and our belief that investing in people is central to our success. We’ll continue to build a workplace where everyone can thrive."

Highlights from the IIP feedback included:

• Greater sharing of strategic information, appreciated especially by those joining from other firms.
• Consistent use of the Management & Leadership Charter to guide and assess leadership.
• Strong integration of firm values into people management.
• A range of staff networks enabling contribution beyond day-to-day roles.
• Clear, valued career progression pathways.
• Ongoing improvement initiatives with active staff involvement.
