The second annual Northern Gamechangers awards is a massive party to celebrate the champions of purpose-driven business in our region - and our third birthday! We are constantly inspired by people proving that business can (and should) be a force for good and want to share their achievements as widely as possible.

What to expect on the night

There will be welcome cocktails and mocktails, incredible food, music, entertainment and lots of opportunities to meet brilliant people from across our region. We'll share the full running order nearer the time but expect to annouce the Top 10 Northern Gamechangers around 8pm.

We're keen to keep everything fun and make it a great night for everyone attending. So there will be no sit down three-course chicken dinner, no long speeches and we will definitely not still be announcing awards at midnight!

Who are the Northern Gamechangers?

Our Top 10 Northern Gamechangers will be announced on the night, along with the judges "ultimate Northern Gamechanger".

Unlike most awards before it, the Northern Gamechangers does not have any defined categories – instead, all finalists excel in a number of areas, including sustainability, decarbonisation, social mobility, diversity and inclusion, and charitable partnerships.
