About the awards
Recognising excellence. Celebrating impact.
The North East Women of Excellence Awards celebrate the women whose leadership, ambition and achievements are shaping the future of our region.
Independent and judged on merit, the awards recognise excellence across business, leadership, innovation and community.
Why we exist
The North East is home to exceptional women, yet there has been no independent awards programme dedicated to celebrating their achievements across every part of business and leadership.
The North East Women of Excellence Awards were created to change that.
Our ambition is to build the region's most respected awards programme. One that celebrates excellence, inspires future generations and becomes something the North East is proud to call its own.
What makes us different?
Independent and open to all.
No public voting.
Guided by an exceptional Advisory Board.
Transparent judging process.
Focused on recognising meaningful impact.
Built to last
These awards are about more than one evening.
We're building a platform that celebrates exceptional women, raises aspirations and strengthens the North East's reputation as a region where ambition, leadership and innovation thrive.
