After a record breaking 1,800 nominations and a vigorous judging process, we are so excited to share that Sweeney Miller Law has been named as a finalist in the 10th Northern PoWEr Women Awards in the Small/Medium Organisation category.
The Small/Medium Organisation category recognises the organisations that are driven with purpose to grow, develop and succeed. The award recognises organisations that are creating an inclusive workplace whilst making a positive impact.
The Northern PoWEr Women Awards marks a decade of championing gender equality and inclusive leadership, convening a powerful cross-sector network across the North West, Yorkshire, North East and North Wales. This growing movement has helped accelerate cultural change, strengthen diverse talent pipelines and position the North as a national leader in equity, inclusion and social impact – while celebrating the achievements of the role models, allies and organisations reshaping workplaces, communities and industries.
Simone Roche MBE, Founder and CEO of We Are PoWEr, said:
“Reaching our tenth year is a powerful moment for the Northern PoWEr Women Awards. What began as a bold idea has become a movement that shines a light on those who are not only achieving success but actively using their influence to open doors for others. The 2026 finalists reflect the very best of the North – courageous leaders, committed allies and organisations driving real, measurable change.”
The Awards continue to recognise both individual excellence and organisational leadership, celebrating future talent, established leaders, advocates and partners embedding equity and inclusion into strategy, culture and everyday practice. Finalists were selected from a highly competitive field through a rigorous judging process focused on demonstrable impact, leadership, innovation and long-term commitment to advancing equality and opportunity.
We are thrilled to be recognised alongside all of the other wonderful businesses in this category. Best of luck to all of the amazing finalists!
