We are absolutely delighted by this achievement. Annelies has consistently championed EDI initiatives, inspiring colleagues and driving meaningful change across not only our workplace but with the clients that she has worked with. Her passion and dedication have made a lasting impact—and this award is a well-deserved recognition of that work.

‘We couldn’t be more proud’ said Sasza Bandiera, CEO. ‘This award is a celebration of Annelies’s dedication to EDI, our company and the Property Industry. It’s also a reminder that real progress begins with individuals who care deeply and act upon their passions.’

Upon receiving the award, Annelies said ‘I’m absolutely thrilled! To be recognised among so many talented, driven and inspiring women is an absolute honour. This award isn’t just a personal achievement, it’s a reflection of the incredible people I’ve worked alongside, the clients and candidates who put their trust in me, and the Oyster Team who champion what we stand for every day.’  

At Oyster Partnership we understand the importance of an equal, diverse, and inclusive workforce and we passionately believe that you should be able to be your true, genuine self at work.

It has been important for us as a business to ensure our team are always at the forefront of ensuring Equity & Inclusivity in the recruitment process & vitally that we represent the communities that we serve and candidates that we aim to represent. We believe we have a duty to promote and practice this in everything we do. We have created an environment to ensure that everyone is positively valued. Individually we are all very different but together we are stronger.

We celebrate this moment with immense gratitude and renewed commitment to supporting every voice within our team and within the industry’s that we serve. 

Congratulations again to Annelies - your achievement inspires us all.

Director of People & Operations

Hannah Clarke

With 18 years of Recruitment experience under her belt, 16 of which have been spent at Oyster, Hannah is (and always will be) an office legend. After reaching a staggering 80-something temps – the stuff of Oyster folklore – Hannah made the monumental decision to step into a whole new role. And thank goodness she did, or we wouldn’t have her as our Director of People & Operations, steering our often-chaotic ship, and playing a huge part in Oyster’s staggering growth plans.
