THE NORTHERN FINANCE DIRECTOR AWARDS RECOGNISE AND CELEBRATE THE EXCEPTIONAL TALENT OF FINANCE DIRECTORS AND THEIR TEAMS ACROSS THE NORTH OF ENGLAND.
The Northern Finance Director Awards embrace all that is brilliant about finance directors, who are often the unsung heroes of any business. Traditionally responsible for sustaining business continuity and managing cash flow, the modern finance director now exhibits creative thinking and strategic influence, as well as demonstrating leadership.
BHP, Michael Page, Barclays, Translink and Hill Dickinson work with finance directors on an array of matters each day, and are frequently blown away by the talent, and felt compelled to promote their successes. We are, therefore, proud sponsors of the Northern Finance Director Awards.
