Significant events
- “Record numbers of organisations participated in International Leadership Week (ILW25), the launch of which was - for the first time - streamed live from the offices of our partners in Portugal.”
- “Our flagship conference, Leadership Live '25, branded the Institute as a major contributor to the annual panoply of leadership-related events in the UK, and also saw record attendees.”
- “The Annual Membership Reception moved in FY25 from the House of Commons to Warwick Castle - a similarly prestige venue.”
- “The flagship of our anchor events during the year - the Annual Leadership Awards - was well received in late 2024. The 2025 edition, although falling outside the FY25 year, cemented the event as a go-to event in the Awards calendar.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
