Newcastle University Business School is delighted to support the 2024 North East HR&D Awards. We are an international triple-accredited business school with audiences, connections and partnerships across the globe, but our roots are firmly placed in the North East of England and we’re proud of our place in the region.

We inspire all our communities to engage and work together to learn, explore and solve the most pressing issues facing the region and world to create a better future.

Leadership capacity is vital to address regional and global challenges. One of the ways we seek to develop leadership capacity is through our Executive Education programmes; work-based programmes designed to support senior leaders and managers in shaping the future of their organisations in an inclusive manner.

In sponsoring this year’s Excellence in Leadership Award, we are celebrating organisations that have identified, developed and supported high-quality, inclusive leadership.

From those nominated and recognised in this category, we hope to see focused support for high-quality and inclusive leadership and evidenced impact across the organisation and the communities they serve.
