Dr Julie Mills OBE DL, Chair of Women Leaders UK, said: “We
are absolutely delighted to have launched the 2024 awards and look forward to seeing the nominations. T e awards are an important part of raising awareness and funds to support our work off ering mentoring and internship schemes to women in all business sectors across the Milton Keynes area. “Although there are more opportunities now than ever before,
there are still too few women in leadership roles. We work with women from all sectors and backgrounds, and there are some brilliant women in Milton Keynes, excelling at what they do and also fi nding time to help others and support them in being brilliant at what they do, too. “T e awards recognises and highlights those achievements and
we hope more women than ever will enter or nominate someone else in one of this year’s categories.”
