Supporting outstanding women in business is a cause close to our hearts, and this year’s winner, Michelle Eager of Krol Corlett, truly exemplifies what it means to be a leader and connector in Liverpool’s thriving business landscape. Her contributions to fostering meaningful professional relationships are inspiring, and we are honoured to have been part of celebrating her personal success.

Adding to the excitement, our Managing Director, Andrew Dwerryhouse, was nominated for the ‘Male Networker of the Year’ award. While the honour went to the deserving Brian Churchill of INNSiDE by Meliá and a highly commended award went to our good friend Conor Roberts from Sedulo. After 28 years in business, Andrew’s nomination underscores his personal dedication to supporting and championing the Liverpool City Region's business community.
