BARCLAYS has set up its own North West Women in Business Awards in a drive to recognise talented females in this part of England.

Categories include the a rising star title for women under the age of 35, individual awards for women in small, medium and large firms and those working in the charity or not-for-profit sectors.

Karen Johnson, head of large corporates for Barclays in the north west said; “Women from all sectors across the North West are securing key roles in businesses and we want to recognise exceptional achievements for the contribution they are making.

We are seeking entries from women and businesses in any sector or industry and this is a fantastic opportunity to bring together business ladies from across the region to share knowledge and ideas, helping to grow the North West economy.”
