Now in its 14th year, the Novi Awards (formerly Forward Ladies Leadership Summit and Awards) honours the impact of female leadership, innovation and entrepreneurship.

"A totally inspirational and uplifting day. There is nothing better than being surrounded by motivated professional like-minded superwomen who are fully charged to make a difference in their professions and environment." - Nadira Hussain 

"An inspirational, inclusive award day – with the loveliest of vibes, and the thread of social impact throughout." - Dr Claire Thorne 

"It was an amazing event, perfect host. Great venue. Delicious food and great company. To win was an absolute thank you." - Jane Kenyon 

"What an amazing and inspirational event today hosted by Novi. I was simply blown away by the talent in the room and it was a great privilege to be there. Taking away a key message to continue to build each other up, cast your net wider and put the ladder down for others to succeed. I was totally wowed by the truly motivational speech by Bonita Norris, the girl who climbed Everest to focus, not fret and to celebrate the small successes, take one step at a time and before you know it you'll climb that mountain." - Lucy Hodges 

"Although I didn't walk away with the award, I had an amazing time listening to inspirational talks including one from Emma Byrne on AI and gender bias. After meeting so many other women breaking barriers in their own industries, I've been inspired to work harder and achieve more to break down barriers in the Highways industry." 

"Griselda Togobo, you have created something so special with forwardladies.com. A community that inspires, supports, encourages and learns from each other. I was nominated by the most fabulous Dr Leigh Hoath in 2019 AND I won. It gave me the confidence to make some bold moves in my career, and I have not looked back. Thank you! Nominate, nominate! Good luck." - Julianne Antrobus - Global Head of Nuclear, PA Consulting Group

We can't wait to meet you, to celebrate you, our allies, and to showcase some of the fantastic female role models within our community, those inspiring their teams and the next generation of talent, smashing glass ceilings and uplifting communities ... as we enjoy great food and drink!

About Novi 

Novi (formerly Forward Ladies) has existed since 2005, celebrating the fantastic contribution of women across all the regions of the UK and beyond. 

Designed to showcase women's leadership, enterprise, and the allies championing change, the Novi Awards is now in its 14th year and has become one of the UK's most recognised and well-attended business awards. As we continue to tackle gender inequalities, we have created this platform so that allies and women can explore ideas on how to keep driving for change. We have opportunities for you to come along with your teams, speak, sponsor a table or one of the 13 categories to be recognised at the awards. We aim to involve as many allies in the day's programming as possible.
