The most recognised year in Go HR’s history
In 2025 Go HR was recognised by independent judges across multiple regions and categories. These were not nominated — they were assessed, judged and awarded.
Diamond Distinction Award
Outstanding SME-Focused HR Partner
Awarded to Go HR for outstanding service and commitment to supporting SME business owners with practical, commercial HR. This award specifically recognises what we do differently — we focus on owner-managed businesses, and we do it well.
Diamond Distinction Award
Female Diamond Entrepreneur (Louise Lithgow-Dicker)
A personal recognition for Louise Lithgow-Dicker as a female entrepreneur who has built a business with genuine impact. Go HR was founded in 2014. It has grown every year since. This award reflects what that kind of sustained commitment actually looks like.
HR Consultancy of the Year
London and South East Region
Recognised as the leading HR consultancy in the London and South East region for two consecutive years. Two rounds of independent judging. Two wins. The same standard of advice both times.
HR Consultancy of the Year
Central Region
Back-to-back regional recognition as the top HR consultancy in the Central region. Judges assessed the quality of our support, our commercial approach and our outcomes for clients. We won it twice.
SME HR Consultancy Leader of the Year (UK)
A national title recognising Louise as the leading figure in SME HR consultancy in the UK. This is not a local or regional award. It is a UK-wide assessment of who is doing this work at the highest level.
Inspirational Woman in Business Award
Human Resources Consulting (Louise Lithgow-Dicker)
Louise Lithgow-Dicker recognised as an inspirational woman in business within the HR consulting sector. Started Go HR after being made redundant for the fifth time. Built it into an award-winning consultancy over twelve years. That is what inspiration actually looks like.
Award of Excellence
Recognised for consistent excellence across the work Go HR delivers. This award reflects the standard we hold ourselves to on every client matter, not just the headline cases.
Award of Excellence
A second consecutive Award of Excellence. The standard did not slip. The recognition followed.
Prestige Awards
Hall of Fame Winner
Hall of Fame recognition is reserved for businesses that have demonstrated sustained excellence across multiple award cycles. Go HR’s entry into the Hall of Fame reflects a track record, not a moment.
Best Customer Experience Award
Awarded for the quality of the client experience Go HR delivers. This is not about how we answer the phone. It is about whether clients feel supported, informed and confident at every stage of working with us. In 2026 an independent panel judged that they do.
Prestige Awards
Legacy Award Winner
The Legacy Award recognises businesses that have built something lasting. Go HR has been operating since 2014, with long-standing clients who trust us with some of the most difficult and sensitive people decisions they will ever face. That kind of trust takes years to earn.
Prestige Awards
Multi Award Winner
Recognised by the Prestige Awards as a multi-award-winning consultancy — reflecting the breadth and consistency of Go HR’s reputation across more than one category and more than one year.
Excellence in Workforce Solutions Award
Recognised as the leading HR consultancy in the London and South East region for two consecutive years. Two rounds of independent judging. Two wins. The same standard of advice both times.
SME HR Director of the Year (UK) & Business Leadership and Dedication Excellence Award
(Louise Lithgow-Dicker)
Two awards in one year recognising Louise’s leadership of Go HR and her contribution to the HR profession in the SME sector. Built on 35 years of HR experience and a clear-eyed view of what business owners actually need.
Platinum Business Award
Platinum-level recognition for Go HR as a business. This award assessed the overall quality, consistency and credibility of the consultancy — not just one project or one client, but how the whole business operates.
Best SME HR Support Provider
SME News Midlands Enterprise Awards
Chosen as the best SME HR support provider in the Midlands by SME News — a publication that covers and recognises the businesses that make the SME economy work. Regional recognition that means something to the clients we serve here.
Best Social Media Presence
Recognised for the quality and consistency of Go HR’s social media output. Straight-talking HR content that business owners actually engage with. No waffle. No corporate speak. Just useful, honest content that tells it how it is.
Small Business Sunday (SBS) Winner — Theo Paphitis
Picked by Theo Paphitis himself as a Small Business Sunday winner. Every week Theo selects a handful of small businesses from thousands of entries. Go HR was one of them. Being chosen by one of the UK’s best-known entrepreneurs and Dragons’ Den investors is not something you forget — and it is not something judges hand out lightly.
The UK SBA — Female Entrepreneur
Louise shortlisted in the Female Entrepreneur category at the UK Small Business Awards. One of many recognitions for what she has built — but this one is national, and it is for the person behind the business as much as the business itself.
The UK SBA — Best Small Business
Shortlisted in the Best Small Business category at the UK Small Business Awards. Competing nationally against businesses across all sectors and being recognised as a finalist is a result worth noting.
The Small Business Awards
Professional Services
Shortlisted from entries across the UK in the Professional Services category of The Small Business Awards. Reaching the finalist stage reflects independent recognition of the quality and credibility of Go HR as a professional services business.
The Small Business Awards
Small Business Owner
Louise Lithgow-Dicker shortlisted as a Small Business Owner finalist, recognition not just for Go HR as a business, but for the work of building and running it.
Louise Lithgow-Dicker FCIPD
Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development — the highest level of professional recognition in HR.

These awards are not marketing material. They are proof that what we do works. Our clients do not need us to have a trophy on the shelf — but it does not hurt to know your HR consultant has been independently recognised as one of the best.
