Leader of the Year (over 30 years)

Company culture is shaped by outstanding leadership. Judges are seeking a leader who has not only cultivated a winning culture but has also consistently demonstrated the ability to inspire exceptional results. This leader should have a proven track record of attracting, motivating, and retaining top talent by fostering an environment where employees thrive. The ideal candidate will have shown how visionary leadership can drive both cultural and business success, creating a workplace where excellence is the norm and every team member feels valued and empowered.

This year marks a significant milestone at Danske Bank as we celebrate 200 years of playing a lead role in Northern Ireland’s economy, supporting people, business and communities.

Today we have a clear purpose, to help customers, colleagues and society thrive. Strong local leadership and presence means we can make quick decisions and empower our teams so they are well positioned to support customers with what they need, when they need it.

Whether your business is just starting out or you are looking to take your business to the next level, our local team of Relationship Managers and Small Business Advisers is here to help. They are also supported by local specialists in areas such as Cash Management, Asset Finance, Invoice Finance and Sustainability. Talk to the team in North Business Centre at any time to discuss how we can help support your business’s plans.

We are delighted to sponsor the Leader of the Year category and wish every entrant the best of luck.
