SWP Summit

I'm excited to share that I’ll be attending the SWP Summit London 2026 on 19th March with two of my colleagues Vanessa Wintle-Thorpe and David Tomlinson as we represent Leathwaite. With constant change, there is more pressure than ever to stay ahead of the curve; one way of doing that is by learning from People and Culture leaders from across industries. I’m looking forward to building new connections as we spend the day exploring what's next for HR? From future-focused talent strategies, emerging trends and technologies, to purposeful networking and sharing creative approaches that ensure we remain relevant and leading from the front. The agenda is packed with insights that align with our priorities of Clients first, Growing together and Winning as a team! If you’re attending too - let’s connect! 🚀 Douglas Leach SWP Summit Leathwaite

Our Platinum tier partnerships for 2026 are already reaching capacity. There is a clear appetite from solution providers to be part of the conversation and to help our hundreds of senior attendees navigate the labour market. I’m looking forward to seeing how our partners will showcase their impact at The Brewery next month, and across our events throughout the year. If you are a solution provider looking to help lead the way in strategic workforce planning, AI integration, or people analytics, let’s connect. We have a few final ways to get involved at SWP Summit 2026 before we finalise the floor plan. #SWP #WorkforcePlanning #HiringTrends #PeopleStrategy

🎤 Speaker announcement | SWP Summit We’re honoured to welcome Oliver Shaw, CEO of Orgvue, to the SWP Summit Rethinking Strategic Workforce Planning: How to Be Intentional Instead of Reactive Most workforce change isn’t planned, it’s reactive, disruptive, and costly. This session challenges that cycle. 🔹 Why so many organisations struggle to connect strategy to structure 🔹 What intentional workforce planning looks like in practice 🔹 How leading organisations anticipate change and align workforce decisions to future value If you’re accountable for strategic workforce planning, org design, or long-term workforce decisions, this is a session built for peers, not theory. Intentional planning. Fewer surprises. Better outcomes. #SWPSummit #StrategicWorkforcePlanning #OrgDesign #PeopleStrategy #CHRO #FutureOfWork Douglas Leach Kerry Byrne Kate Swinscoe Enrique Rubio Hacking HR Samantha Thornton Jason Thomas
