2020 Awards - Details Coming Soon
The Yorkshire Finance Leaders Awards recognise and celebrate exceptional financial leadership in the region.
The awards are a platform for showcasing the achievements of local Finance Directors, Chief Finance Officers, and fast rising leaders who underpin and sustain Yorkshire’s economic success.
The 2019 event was held at the Queen’s Hotel in Leeds, on Thursday 19th September and brought together the very best finance leaders from across Yorkshire. The 2020 awards will look to recognise the wide-ranging successes of individuals and businesses across Yorkshire, and the contribution they make across the county.
Categories
Private Equity
This award is open to interim and incumbent finance leaders who have played a significant part in facilitating the disposal or acquisition of a PE backed business. The judges will be looking for acumen and skill, effective communication and working with the teams to maintain and enhance the value of the business.
NFP/ Public Sector
This award is open to the finance leaders who can demonstrate their role in ensuring that the NFP organisation works like a commercial business with a sound understanding and articulation of the goals of the organisation and what the future looks like.
Finance Team
If you feel that as a finance leader you have a team that needs to be truly acknowledged with an award then why not tell us why they are so valued. This can be a team that consistently delivers over and above their objectives, all pull in the same direction and have a positive impact on the success of the business
Private or Family Business
This award will recognise the achievements of a finance leader who has been able to maintain the fundamental ethos of the business whilst managing growth and articulating and communicating the future strategy.
PLC
This finance leader of this award will be able to demonstrate that success is not short term and not solely recognised by the share price. They will be able to articulate the financial aspects of the strategy to support improved, sustainable profitability and the role they will play in this.

This award is aimed at the finance leaders of businesses less than 5 years old who have demonstrated a clear point of differentiation (either products or services).

Outstanding Finance Leader
Charity
Across the UK there are children who, through no fault of their own, have to cope with sickness, disability or disadvantage.
That's why YFL have partnered up with Variety. They provide practical, tangible help that makes an immediate difference to those children and their families; aiding them in reaching their true potential.
“We are truly grateful for the support and donations on the YFL evening. We raised an impressive £3,700 and also had pledges for equipment and people volunteering their time, all of which will make a real difference to the disadvantaged children in our region.”
