Yorkshire Finance Leaders Awards – Judging complete

Nearly 40 of the region’s top finance professionals and in-house finance teams have been shortlisted for the second Yorkshire Finance Leaders Awards.

The final judging session took place last week and the winners will be announced at a glittering black-tie awards ceremony on 19 September at the Queens Hotel in Leeds.

The awards ceremony, attended by over 200 guests, is one of the region’s biggest events on the finance industry calendar and celebrates the outstanding achievements of Yorkshire’s strong finance community.

A spokesperson for the sponsors said: “We have been hugely impressed by the exceptionally high levels of talent amongst Yorkshire’s finance leaders and professional finance teams. The standard has been extremely high this year with so many of our region’s finance leaders demonstrating strong leadership and excellent commercial ability, making the final judges meeting a very challenging process.”

“Disruptive factors such as technology innovation, trade policies and supply chain risk means that the role of the Finance Director is becoming increasingly strategic.  They provide guidance and support to help everyone in the business balance the need to drive growth, whilst maintaining good governance and helping businesses to build a holistic approach to risk.”
