We are delighted to announce that Racheal Jones, our esteemed CEO, has been named a finalist in the Merseyside Women of the Year (MWOTY) awards 2025.

Racheal is one of 16 exceptional women from across the Liverpool city region who have been recognised ahead of the awards’ 15th anniversary edition. Notably, she is one of two Knowsley women to be included among the finalists this year.

The Merseyside Women of the Year awards celebrate women who are driving change and improving lives across Merseyside and beyond through business leadership, voluntary and community work, charitable organisations, and entrepreneurial and creative endeavours.

The finalists represent inspiring women using their time, skills, and expertise to help others, inspire change, and make the region a better place. The awards aim to provide a spotlight and platform for these deserving individuals.

Racheal’s shortlisting is a proud moment for One Knowsley and the wider Knowsley community, recognising her profound influence and tireless efforts in making a difference.

Racheal said:

“I’m truly honoured to be named a finalist among such an inspiring group of women who are each making a real impact across our region. This recognition is not just for me, but a testament to the collective efforts of the Knowsley community and the incredible work we do at One Knowsley.

I hope this platform helps shine a light on the power of community and collaboration. Together, we’re making a real difference, and I’m proud to be part of that journey.”
