UK Northern Finance Director Awards 2023 Launched to Recognise Outstanding Finance Leaders – Nominate Now

The Northern Finance Director Awards are back for 2023. Nominations are now open, recognising and celebrating the exceptional talent of finance leaders and their teams across the North of England.

We are delighted to be sponsoring the awards once again, alongside business advisers Grant Thornton UK LLP and leading recruitment firm Michael Page. New to the awards this year and joining the sponsorship trio is Barclays Corporate Banking.

From rising inflation and multiple budgets announced, 2022 had it all, and 2023 brought new challenges to business leaders as they continued to grapple with supply chain issues and talent shortages.

The awards will once again recognise the enterprise, leadership, resilience, social impact and all-round excellence of the financial directors, chief financial officers and financial teams in Northern businesses across 14 different categories.

The awards are open to finance directors (or equivalent) in all industries, whether working for a fast-growing SME or an innovative PLC, as well as for the benefit of the wider region. The shortlists will be announced in July, and the winners announced in October during the awards ceremony.

The categories are:

• Best Northern Finance Director of a Limited Company up to £25 million
• Best Northern Finance Director of a Limited Company of £25 million – £100 million
• Best Northern Finance Director of a Limited Company Over £100 million
• Best Northern Finance Director of a Listed Company
• Best Northern Finance Director of a Private Equity-backed Company
