North East Women in Business: From Legacy to Launch

Join Oliver Wyman and Atom bank to celebrate Women's History Month and the launch of the new North East Women in Business Network—a cross-sector community dedicated to empowering and elevating female professionals from Northumberland to Teesside.

This isn't just another networking event; it’s a celebration of the incredible women who have shaped our region’s past and a commitment to those defining its future. Our event kicks off with a brief presentation celebrating the powerful history of women, followed by a dynamic panel discussion featuring diverse voices—from early-career apprentices to seasoned senior leaders— focused on actionable strategies to empower women at all levels within the North East.

Our Panel:

• Helen Wilson, Chief Operating Officer, Atom bank
• Melanie Bolton, Director (North East), Sullivan Brown Resourcing Partners
• Emily Warman, Associate Solicitor, Square One Law
• Amelia Hassack, Apprentice Analyst, Oliver Wyman

Why Attend?

• Be a Founding Voice: Get in on the ground floor as we transition from a working title to a permanent regional fixture.
• Get Actionable Insights: Move beyond theory with a panel focused on practical steps businesses can take to develop and retain top talent, and how you as an individual can grow and accelerate your career in the North East.
• Build Strategic Connections: Meet peers across diverse sectors, including finance, technology, government, and manufacturing, emphasizing meaningful collaboration over just exchanging business cards.

Let’s celebrate where we’ve been and get excited about where we’re going. Together, we have the power to make the North East of England the best place for women to grow their careers.
