Women Leaders UK awards are back for 2023. Nominations are now open to nominate someone you believe deserves to have their achievements recognised. We are also encouraging self-nominations – no one knows you better than you.

The awards will be held on 7th June 2023 at Hilton DoubleTree at Stadium MK. The event is an evening gala dinner, and we want you to dress to impress.

There are 15 awards, 14 of which are open for nominations, with the final ‘outstanding achievement’ award picked by the judges. Awards categories are diverse, cross all sectors and encourage those in STEM careers to be recognised. There also includes a #NoneOfTheAbove# category, for those who don’t relate what they do to any of the other categories ensuring that everyone has a chance.

The gala dinner will be attended by 400+ people who will be inspired not only by the stories of our finalists and winners but also through an exciting new format for several prominent speakers to engage the audience. Previous speakers include Cindy Rose OBE CEO Microsoft UK (Now President Microsoft Western Europe); Dany Cotton QSFM, first female Commissioner of the London Fire Service,  and Brigadier Nicky Moffat, highest ranking women in the British Army. Our title partner for the 2023 awards is Oracle Red Bull Racing who join us in looking forward to a spectacular evening.

You can buy single tickets for the awards but we also have some amazing ‘supporter’ ticket options which will also earn you / your organisation, a mention in the awards programme for the gala evening.
