Welcome to BusinessCloud’s inaugural Northern Leaders list.
Northern Leaders 2024 aims to shine a light on the leaders who have made – and continue to make – the biggest positive difference to the North.
BusinessCloud was inundated with hundreds of nominations for the list, which is aimed primarily at the business world but also includes figures from politics, philanthropy, sport and the voluntary sectors.
A panel of esteemed judges whittled down the main list of 540 names to just 200 – the second 100 of which are celebrated below, with the first 100 available here.
A Northern Leaders Futures list of 75 names, aged 45 or less, has also been published here.
The headline sponsor for Northern Leaders is OBI and it is joined by partners KPMG, Co-op Live, CG, GM Business Growth Hub and Rochdale Development Agency.
