North East England Chamber of Commerce has launched its Inspiring Females awards today Friday, 22 July 2022 to find the most inspirational female apprentices, employees and business leaders.

The aim of the awards is to recognise and celebrate the region’s businesswomen’s successes and spread the word on how they’ve overcome any challenges.

Ashley Carney, Chamber events manager said: “We have some fantastic female role models in our region who are excelling as managing directors, entrepreneurs, engineers, exporters, apprentices and innovators. But we don’t hear enough about them, what drove them to achieve their ambitions or how they did it. We believe its important to give these women a platform to share their stories, inspiring others to learn from them.”

There are categories for businesses of various sizes to recognise women at all stages of their career including the most inspiring employer, the best community & CSR inspiring female and the most inspirational female leader.   

The entries close on 9 September and the winners will be announced at the Inspiring Females awards lunch on Friday 11 November at Newcastle Civic Centre.

Bernicia is the associate sponsor of the overall awards and category sponsors are Esh Group, Intuit, Openreach, One Awards, NRG and Hargreaves.
