Somayeh Taheri selected as Northern Gamechanger

A huge congratulations to our CEO and founder Somayeh Taheri for being named as a 2024 Northern Gamechanger.

Northern Gamechangers is in its third year as a business awards programme and aims to celebrate the champions of purpose-driven business.

Somayeh is a driving force behind the rapidly growing UrbanChain, which this month expanded into Manchester Science Park’s 91,000 sq ft Base.

Among those joining Somayeh as Northern Gamechangers are Amer Gaffar, Manchester Fuel Centre Innovation Centre, Ethar Alali, Really Recycle, Jamie Christon DL, Chester Zoo, Jennifer Williams, Financial Times and Katie Gallagher OBE, Manchester Digital.

Elevate, a business development consultancy behind the awards, said: “Once again, we never fail to be astounded by the breadth of the talent, innovation and those putting purpose at the centre of their commercial activity.

“If you find yourself on this list, THANK YOU. We have been in what feels like a permacrisis since COVID and we’re lucky to have truly game-changing people and organisations like you, driving the future of the North.”

The Ultimate Northern Gamechanger of 2024 will be revealed at a celebration event at Clockwise Linley House, Manchester on October 16.
