Awards
The Women of Achievement Awards by Women in Business (Hull) celebrates the inspiring stories, achievements, and contributions of women within our community in the Hull, East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire region. Biannually, the awards recognise those who have not only excelled in their fields but have made meaningful impacts in business, their own organisations but also on the lives of others and their wider communities. The awards ceremony in 2026 will again bring together a community of exceptional individuals in an atmosphere of celebration and shared purpose.
We've had an impressive line-up of guest speakers in previous years including Janet Street-Porter, Gloria Hunniford, Katie Piper, Esther Rantzen, Ruby Wax and Moira Stewart, to name but a few. This year we are delighted to welcome Ashley James as our guest speaker for the much‑anticipated 2026 awards ceremony will take place on Friday 13th November 2026 at the Mercure Hotel, Willerby. You can find out more here.
The awards span various categories, from business excellence and community impact to leadership and innovation, celebrating the diverse talents and strengths of women across Hull, East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire. It’s a time to reflect and celebrate how these remarkable individuals uplift those around them, fostering progress and empowerment in both business and community spaces.
Women in Business takes pride in hosting an event that both highlights achievement and strengthens our network of professional women. Through each story shared and each award given, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering opportunities, growth, and recognition for all women in business and leadership roles.
