Winners of first ever Northern Leadership Awards announced at high profile event
The winners of our first ever Northern Leadership Awards have been announced at an awards night attended by business leaders and professionals.

The event was compered by BBC political journalist Nina Warhurst.
The awards have been held in partnership with international law firm CMS and follows last year’s Yorkshire Leadership Awards.

“Our shortlist and our winners showcase the best qualities of modern leadership – of inspiration, collaboration and empowerment.
“This was a celebration of the transformational impact great leaders are having in our region here and now.”
