Power of Women Awards 2024
Inspiration, Inclusion, Equity
In the spirit of Women’s History Month, Dress for Success Greater London proudly hosted its sixth annual Power of Women Awards on 21 March 2024. Hosted at the prestigious Radisson Blu Edwardian, Bloomsbury Street Hotel, it was an evening of inspiration, celebration and recognition of phenomenal individuals who have made significant contributions in their sectors.
The theme for International Women’s Day 2024 was ‘Inspire Inclusion’, and this was reflected in our awards ceremony. Long-time supporter of Dress for Success Greater London, radio host Angie Greaves, opened the event with a nod to this theme, focusing on the importance of representation, equity and empowerment.
