Welcome to BusinessCloud’s inaugural Northern Leaders Futures list.

Following the publication of the main 200-strong Northern Leaders 2024 list of figures who have made – and continue to make – the biggest positive difference to the North, Northern Leaders Futures 2024 aims to shine a light on the next generation of names.

BusinessCloud was inundated with hundreds of nominations for both lists, which is aimed primarily at the business world but also includes figures from politics, philanthropy, sport and the voluntary sectors.

As with the main list, a panel of esteemed judges whittled down the nominees to 75 people, who are improving the North but were aged 45 or less at the start of the year.

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.

• Every effort has been made to double check the accuracy of all the profiles, but if any details have changed, contact Chris Maguire here.
