SheInspires 2024: Launching a Year of Empowerment and Recognition

[Bolton, 7 June 2024] — SheInspires kicked off its first 2024 event with a memorable networking lunch, bringing together judges, finalists, friends, and sponsors to understand the awards process. The day was action-packed, beginning with an early morning session dedicated exclusively to judges and the judging process, led by Jackie Hyde. 

This was followed by a panel discussion featuring Ray Hanks, Sue France, Gulnaz Brennan, and Jackie Hyde, moderated by Jenny Matthews, and a roundtable with the judges. With nearly 100 attendees, some traveling from as far as London, the event underscored the importance of collaboration and networking in driving positive change and recognising remarkable contributions.

Since its inception, the SheInspires Awards has been dedicated to shining a spotlight on women whose passion, dedication, and innovation inspire others and make a significant impact in their communities. Over the years, this prestigious event has celebrated countless stories of courage, leadership, and empowerment, continuing to build a legacy of recognizing and fostering female excellence, both locally and globally. 

As of 2024, SheInspires has a presence in over 27 countries across all continents.

Today’s event also paid special tribute to the dedicated panel of judges whose expertise and commitment ensure the integrity and fairness of the awards. A special acknowledgment was given to Jackie Hyde, whose unwavering support and meticulous attention to detail have been instrumental in maintaining the highest standards in the judging process.

In today’s world, networking is king and collaboration is queen. The SheInspires Awards provide a unique platform for finalists and judges to connect, share their stories, and forge meaningful relationships. This luncheon highlighted the importance of these interactions, offering attendees the chance to promote their businesses and align with the vision and mission of SheInspires.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the SheInspires Awards, a significant milestone that comes with exciting plans for the future. Founder Gulnaz Brennan unveiled a bold vision for the next five years: to empower 50,000 girls locally and globally. This ambitious goal aims to extend the impact of SheInspires, fostering a new generation of empowered women leaders. Watch this space for more developments as this vision unfolds.
