Christeyns continues to support future talent
Hygiene specialist Christeyns UK continues to support staff development and prepare for the future with its 5th Emerging Leaders Programme cohort.
This latest Emerging Leaders programme kicked off with a two-day event at Christeyns UK headquarters in Bradford last month, supporting 14 individuals from all areas of the business. The programme runs until the middle of 2026, with the group visiting each of the organisation’s UK sites during the coming months. Attendees are all emerging talent from across the UK and Ireland, identified as potential future leaders.
The programme forms part of Christeyns' learning & development strategy which aims to embed a continuous learning culture at the core of the organisation’s people policy, focusing on creating opportunities and retaining talent in the business. It is bespoke and delivered in partnership with Cognition Evolve which provides integrated, professional learning solutions for businesses around the world.
"We have had great success with our Emerging Leaders Programme and are delighted to be able to offer this to another 14 staff members," states Christeyns head of HR, Sarah Stringer. "The programme covers various aspects of leadership and also includes a realistic business challenge project, giving them the opportunity to influence and add value to the business."
Based in Bradford for over 150 years, Christeyns UK focuses on the manufacture and supply of chemicals and engineering expertise for the commercial laundry and high street laundry sectors in the UK and Ireland. The company employs over 230 staff across its UK operations, both site and field based.
