Why these awards?
Across the North East, women are building exceptional businesses, leading organisations, driving innovation and making a lasting difference to our communities.
Yet despite the depth of talent across our region, there has been no independent awards programme dedicated to recognising women creating impact across every part of business and leadership.
The North East Women of Excellence Awards were created to change that.
Our ambition is simple: to build the region's most prestigious and respected awards programme. One that celebrates achievement, inspires future generations and showcases the exceptional women helping shape the future of the North East.

Guided by an exceptional advisory board
