SPONSOR THE 2025

Sponsoring the She Means Business Awards is not only an exciting new opportunity to support a local not-for-profit initiative – it's also about making a statement. By aligning your business with our mission of empowering women in the North Nottinghamshire area, you're sending a powerful message that your firm values equality and diversity in the workplace. 

Your sponsorship not only promotes your brand to our diverse and targeted audience but also demonstrates your commitment to supporting women in business. It's an opportunity to showcase your brand as a champion of gender equality, while also gaining exposure and recognition within our community.

From increased brand visibility to the chance to network with like-minded individuals, sponsoring our awards offers a multitude of benefits that extend far beyond the event itself. Join us in making a difference and let's build a more inclusive and supportive business landscape together.
