The Women Leaders’ Awards 2025 took place on June 12th at the Hilton DoubleTree Hotel at Stadium MK, with this year’s powerful theme: “Smashing Stereotypes.”

This glamorous gala dinner gave everyone the chance to dress to impress and celebrate the incredible achievements of women across Milton Keynes.

A total of 15 awards were presented, 14 that were open for nominations, while the prestigious Outstanding Achievement Award was be selected by the judges. A few special prizes were also awarded for two spaces on the Red Thread Fellowship Programme and a spa overnight stay at Horwood House. Spanning all sectors, these awards are designed to honor excellence, with a strong emphasis on recognizing women in STEM careers.
