Winners revealed at West Midlands Leadership Awards 2022
The cream of West Midlands business leadership was honoured on Thursday night (March 31) at the McDonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham city centre.
The West Midlands Leadership Awards 2022 saw a double win for Squire Patton Boggs’ Mariyam Harunah, who walked away with both the Diversity & Inclusion and Leader of the Year Awards in front of around 200 business leaders from across the region.
TheBusinessDesk.com’s Midlands editor, Sam Metcalf, said: “TheBusinessDesk.com first created the West Midlands Leadership Awards to celebrate the people who are role models within their organisations – and we make no apology tonight for celebrating the individual. For it is our shortlisted individuals tonight who have demonstrated how vitally important strong, forward-thinking leadership is.
