Just a month remains to nominate the region’s inspirational women for the Women of Achievement Awards, with entries close on Tuesday 27th August.
Organised by not-for-profit networking group Women in Business Hull, the biennial awards celebrate the achievements of women who are raising the bar in business, blazing a trail for other women to follow in the workplace, or making an outstanding contribution in their profession or to the community.
Caroline Neadley, chair of Women in Business Hull, said: “Women in business rarely shout about their amazing achievements, which is why we’re encouraging people to nominate their friends, their families and work colleagues for one of our awards. You can, of course, also nominate yourself – in fact, we would encourage it!
“We’ve had some brilliant nominations so far, and we’re looking forward to reading more about the outstanding women across the region who are doing incredible work.”
Janet Street-Porter is to be this year’s guest speaker, and will be discussing her vast career spanning across print, radio and broadcast for over 50 years.
Taking place on Friday 15th November from 12-5pm at the Mecure Hotel in Willerby, there are nine categories available to enter, with the judges deciding on an overall Women of Achievement Award winner.
Carol Ideson, founder of Carol Ideson Funding and Advice, and 2022 overall Women of Achievement Award winner, said of her experience: “Winning this award was truly astonishing and has given me a huge sense of pride. The amazing support I have received from Women in Business since winning the award has validated my hard work through the years and will forever be the pinnacle of my career.”
