Empowering Yorkshire's Community through the Yorkshire Choice Awards

International Women's Day is a day to celebrate the achievements and contributions of women around the world. On this special day, we would like to highlight a couple of ladies making a significant impact in their community, Joanne Maltby and Melanie Malcolm, co-founders of the Yorkshire Choice Awards.



The Yorkshire Choice Awards were launched with the aim of celebrating the achievements of individuals and businesses in the Yorkshire region. Joanne and Melanie wanted to create an event that would shine a spotlight on the people who were making a positive impact in their communities and give them the recognition they deserved.


The idea for the Yorkshire Choice Awards came about when Joanne and Melanie, who are both businesswomen and entrepreneurs, realised that there was a lack of recognition for the hard work and dedication of individuals and businesses in the region. They saw an opportunity to create an event that would celebrate the achievements of these people, and inspire others to follow in their footsteps.


Since the launch of the Yorkshire Choice Awards, the event has grown in popularity and prestige. Each year, hundreds of nominations are received from people across the region, and the awards ceremony has become a highlight of the social calendar in Yorkshire. The awards have become a platform for showcasing the diversity and talent of the region.


The impact of the Yorkshire Choice Awards has been felt across the region. The event has helped to raise the profile of many individuals and businesses and has provided a platform for them to share their stories and inspire others. It has also helped to build a sense of community in Yorkshire, bringing people together to celebrate their achievements and to support one another.


Joanne and Melanie are an inspiration to women everywhere. They have shown that with hard work, dedication, and a clear vision, it is possible to make a positive impact in your community. They have also shown that women can be powerful and successful entrepreneurs and that they have an important role to play in shaping the future of business.


On this International Women's Day, we celebrate the achievements of Joanne and Melanie and we thank them for their contribution to the Yorkshire community. They are a reminder that women can achieve great things when they work together, and that their impact can be felt far and wide.
