Northern Ireland’s outstanding businesswomen will be recognised at the 2025 Women in Business Awards when the prestigious ceremony returns in March.
Taking place at Belfast’s Crowne Plaza Hotel on Thursday, 13 March 2025, the awards are an annual celebration of Northern Ireland’s best-in-class businesswomen and their significant achievements across the broad range of business.
Sponsored by Virgin Media O2 Business, the event is entering its 13th year and will once again welcome business leaders from all sectors to celebrate and reflect on the extraordinary women who are not only having an impact on Northern Ireland’s economy but inspiring the next generation of women leaders.

Women in Business Managing Director, Lorraine Acheson, commented: “Celebrating women leaders has never been more important. Through the years our showpiece awards ceremony has created a platform to uncover, share and indeed amplify those women making tangible impact day and daily. This being the 13th Women in Business Awards, we look forward to continuing this legacy with a new tapestry of success stories, comprising women of all ages and backgrounds right across Northern Ireland.”
“I would warmly encourage women to nominate themselves or a colleague, before the 12 noon deadline on Friday 24 January, 2025.”
Launching 2025’s awards, Women in Business has partnered with The Digg Podcast to bring a new digital element to the long-running ceremony, helping to bring the awards to new audiences and encouraging applications.
On the night, the ceremony will recognise businesswomen from a diverse range of disciplines through 13 categories. Hosted again by long-time Women in Business advocate Pamela Ballantine, the past 12 events have seen winners from a wide range of sectors including energy, media, tourism, technology and the public sector.
