Shining a light on leadership that makes a difference

The Leadership Awards are back for 2025 – and we couldn’t be more excited.

The Leadership Awards 2025

Now in their third year, the Leadership Awards have grown into something quite special. What started as a simple way to recognise great leadership has become a meaningful moment in the year where we pause, reflect and celebrate the people who lead with purpose, honesty and authenticity.

It’s not about job titles or polished CVs. It’s about showing up when it matters, bringing people with you and making a difference – whether that’s in big, bold ways or quiet, consistent ones. These awards are for the people who make things better just by being the kind of leader others want to follow.

This year’s ceremony takes place on 14 November 2025 at the Hilton London Bankside. If you’ve joined us before, you’ll know it’s a brilliant evening full of warmth, connection and stories that stay with you. If not, this is the perfect year to be part of it.

Over the past two years, we’ve celebrated leaders who’ve guided others through change, built something new from the ground up, or kept teams going through tough times. What they all have in common is the way they lead – with clarity, care and authenticity.

Nominations are open now and we’d love to hear from you. Maybe you know someone whose leadership deserves to be seen. Maybe it’s your team. Maybe it’s you. Whatever the story, this is your chance to share it.

To nominate, visit: iol.rsvp.gther.com/leadership-awards

Nominate now and help us shine a light on leadership that matters.

We’ll be sharing more in the run-up to the awards, but for now, save the date and start thinking about the leaders you know who’ve made an impact this year.
