SPONSORS
Cumbria Woman of the Year is in its’ thirty-fourth-year, and we couldn’t be prouder of the women who have earned the title over those years, or of those who have been nominated for the award.
With social media becoming a routine part of everyday life, we are grateful for the platform and the way it reveals so many wonderful people, causes and achievements in our county. It allows us to expand our reach and highlight those achievements by honouring the amazing women behind the accomplishments.

Our mission is to be the ‘one stop shop’ for nuclear waste management and disposal for the UK, making nuclear waste permanently safe, sooner.
We are incredibly proud to sponsor the Cumbria Woman of the Year category at the fantastic Cumbrian Women of the Year Awards; there are countless inspirational women across the county who devote their time to improving the lives of others. It is an honour to help shine the spotlight on them, and everyone at NWS would like to send their congratulations and thank all those nominated at this year’s awards. We’re lucky to have such amazing women making Cumbria proud.
