Winners revealed at West Midlands Leadership Awards 2023
The cream of West Midlands business leadership was honoured on Thursday night at the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham city centre.
The West Midlands Leadership Awards 2022 saw a double win for Melissa Snover from Rem3dy Health who walked away with both the Company Leader (100 employees+) and Leader of the Year Awards in front of around 200 business leaders from across the region.
TheBusinessDesk.com’s West Midlands assistant editor, Anna Cooper, said: “TheBusinessDesk.com first created the West Midlands Leadership Awards to celebrate the people that are role models within their organisations and raise the bar for their competitors.
“The last few years have revealed that the most successful leaders are those able to adapt. Leaders who can navigate the twists and turns of the ever changing business landscape and forge on through economic uncertainty are vital in this post-pandemic world.
“Congratulations to Melissa, and all our winners and shortlisted individuals.”
The awards were sponsored by Curium Solutions and supported by Be The Business, drp, Pertemps, Unbranded, and Vigilance.
£2,500 was raised for the Awards charity partner, Acorns.
