Yorkshire Finance Leaders Awards 2021 open for nominations
The Yorkshire Finance Leaders Awards returns in 2021 to honour and celebrate our region’s strong finance community, which has helped support regional businesses, and navigate the challenging circumstances of a global pandemic.
This year’s awards includes two new sponsors – Lloyds Bank and Aon plc who join returning sponsors BDO LLP and Brewster Partners Recruitment Group.
New sponsor Stephen Harris, regional director at Lloyds Bank said; “We are delighted to see the return of the Yorkshire Finance Leaders Awards and be onboard as a sponsor for this year’s event, the last 12 months have been one of unprecedented change and many finance leaders have played a pivotal role in helping businesses deal with the economic effects of Covid-19”.
The Yorkshire Finance Leaders Awards process aims to promote exceptional financial leadership in the region. The awards are a platform for showcasing the achievements of local Finance Directors, Chief Finance Officers, Financial Controllers and wider finance teams who underpin and sustain Yorkshire’s economic growth.
Tracey Threlfall, regional managing director at Aon plc said; “These awards are important as we have some exceptional talent working in businesses across the region. Yorkshire’s finance leaders have significantly contributed to the region’s economic success and will continue to play a key part as businesses start to come out of extended lockdown restrictions.”
Over the years these awards have recognised some of Yorkshire’s top performing finance leaders working across a breadth of high performing businesses. The 2019 final awards dinner was attended by over 250 industry professionals who came together to celebrate the award winners.
