celebrate exceptional financial leadership in the region
The Awards are a platform for showcasing the achievements of local Finance Directors, Chief Finance

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 2021 Awards will look to recognise the wide-ranging successes of individuals and businesses across Yorkshire, and the contribution they make across the county.
