Across the North West, the IoD (Institute of Directors) is building a strong community of business leaders, who understand the challenges, have access to quality personal and professional development, can offer peer support at a senior level and influence policy that affects our businesses (be that local, regional or national) and who generally help make the North West a great place to live and work. A region to stay in after university and a thriving environment to start-up and grow your business.

Attended by business leaders, entrepreneurs, government and media representatives, our annual North West Director of the Year Awards has recognised directors from diverse regional businesses including: Booths, N Brown Group, Graham & Brown, Ainscough Crane Hire, Seamark, Accrol Papers, Chester Zoo, Timpson, Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.
