Welcome to the Working Women Awards
Celebrating women whose leadership, creativity, resilience and impact deserve to be seen, honoured and remembered.
Join the Pre-Launch
Working Women Awards
Some moments in business are bigger than deals or profits — they're about recognition, influence, and legacy. The Working Women Awards Pre-Launch is one of those moments. It's where the journey begins, and where you can choose to be seen, heard, and remembered.
Ceremony
Thursday 25 June 2026
Venue

An epicentre of women’s achievement
Women’s work is judged in public and rewarded in private. The deal closes, the team is held together, the problem quietly gets solved — and the woman who made it happen moves straight to the next thing without anyone marking the moment.
The Working Women Awards exist to mark it. One day a year where the standard is set out loud, in front of the people whose opinion actually counts: your peers, your clients and your competitors.
