Serving the Teesside Business Community | 19 YOU’RE THE BIZ! Tees Business launches first awards for local businesswomen TEES BUSINESSWOMEN AWARDS Individual Categories Businesswoman of the Year T ees Business is launching Teesside’s first Businesswomen’s Awards. The awards will celebrate women in business on Teesside, inspiring a new generation of females to succeed in business, creating more female entrepreneurs and business leaders than ever before. The first ever Tees Businesswomen Awards will be held on Teesside in the Autumn of 2018. This is an opportunity… • For Tees businesses to shout about the opportunities they give to women in their workplace. • For local businesses driven by girl power to celebrate their success. • For us all to shout about the entrepreneurs, business owners, directors, managers and apprentices that drive our Tees organisations • And to give recognition to those women who break the mould by succeeding in what are traditionally men’s businesses, roles or sectors. Tees Business co-editor Dave Allan said: “The Tees region is well served with business awards, but the Teesside Businesswomen Awards will be unique. “Tees Business is proud to be giving this opportunity for local firms, organisations and individuals to shout from the rooftop about the women who are making an outstanding contribution – and to the organisations that champion them. “We are determined to raise the profile of women on the Tees business scene – and this is just the start.” Initial categories for the awards are listed in the column on the right.
