TODAY. That’s it!

By midnight tonight, nominations close.

Today is the FINAL deadline for the 2026 - and this is your last opportunity to put forward a woman whose impact deserves to be recognised.

And before the deadline closes tonight, think about the women who keep things moving without the spotlight:

• the ones solving problems quietly
• supporting others privately
• leading without ego
• working while carrying the family
• showing up when things fall apart

So if there’s a woman whose work has changed lives, opened doors, lifted others or kept things going when things got hard - this is your final chance to make sure her story is counted.

Nominate NOW.

One week left.

In seven days, nominations close for the .

This is your final chance to recognise the women creating real impact - often quietly, consistently, and without ever asking for recognition.

We’ve seen nominations for women breaking barriers in business, supporting communities through crisis, mentoring others behind the scenes, and opening doors for the next generation.

Many had no idea someone was even watching… because this isn’t about popularity. It’s about impact.

And these awards were never designed to end when the applause stops. Through the network, recognition becomes visibility, support, collaboration and long-term empowerment.

So before nominations close, ask yourself:Who is the woman that deserves to be seen?

Nominate her. Or send this to someone who should. Self nominations welcome. Visit businesspowerawards.co.uk to nominate.

Too many women are moving mountains and calling it “just doing my job.”

No… She didn’t just do her job.
She built.
She led.
She delivered.
She changed things.

And when women like that are recognised, it doesn’t just honour one person. It changes what the next generation believes is possible. That’s the real point.

Because somewhere, a young woman is watching: Watching who gets celebrated. Watching who gets invited in. Watching whose name gets called. And quietly deciding whether there’s space for her too.

That is exactly why matter.

Not because women need flattering, but because they deserve proper recognition.

For the founders. The professionals. The mentors. The educators. The creatives. The community leaders. The women breaking barriers in rooms they were never meant to dominate - but do.

So if a woman came to mind while reading this, don’t do the usual “I’ll send it later.”

Nominate her.
Nominate yourself.

Because this is bigger than a trophy… this is about showing the next girl what she can be.
