Northwest Women's Enterprise Forum

A new business awards scheme is being launched in the Northwest to recognise and reward the huge contribution that female entrepreneurs make to the regional economy.

Organised by the Northwest Women’s Enterprise Forum (NWWEF), the Northwest Women in Business Awards is the first region wide event celebrating the achievements of the women that are running some of the region’s most successful and innovative businesses. It aims to inspire and encourage more women to consider enterprise as a career and increase the number of woman starting up or expanding businesses in the region.

Supported by the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA), Bolton Business Ventures, Confederation of British Industry, Business Link Northwest and Mark Your Mark, the Awards will have three categories – Business Start-up of the Year, Young Entrepreneur of the Year and Woman Entrepreneur of the Year. There will also be a special Judges Awards which will be given in recognition of an outstanding contribution to Women’s Enterprise.

For details on how to register for the Awards lunch and further information on how to nominate yourself for an award see the 'Event Details' section.
