Northern Power Women Awards 2023 | Northern Power Women | 4 October 2022 | Manchester Central Convention Complex, Windmill St, Manchester M2 3GX, UK

Northern Power Women is here to make change for good through our community of 85,000 go-getters and inspirational individuals. Over the last 6 years we’ve advanced gender equality and transformed organisational culture, propelled business growth and productivity in the UK from the North. We’ve worked alongside agents of change of all genders to showcase role models and encouraged everyone to champion gender balance throughout their communities.

As our community of disruptors and trailblazers grew, it soon became clear that the talent and resilience in the North needed celebrating. So, in 2016, we launched the very first Northern Power Women Awards, where we spotlighted the superstars who work tirelessly to create a fairer and more equal community.
