With 12 categories up for grabs , the awards cover the vast breadth of skills possessed by our region ’ s leading businesswomen and female-led organisations .
Tees Business director Dave Allan said : “ We couldn ’ t be prouder to host these game-changing awards .
“ Over the past six years , we ’ ve celebrated success , challenged conventions and changed perceptions about what girls and women can and should aspire to do and achieve .
“ We created a range of role models from all backgrounds , diversities , sectors and careers for the next generation to aspire to , giving them the belief that they can go further , achieve more and pursue careers in directions once perceived as ‘ men ’ s roles ’.
“ We ’ re also proud to have helped create a network of local businesswomen , arguably stronger than anywhere else in the UK , and certainly stronger than networks for businessmen in our region . “ Our thanks again to all the event ’ s advocates , especially headline sponsor Northern Skills Group , for putting us in a perfect position to build even further on all that ’ s been achieved so far .”
