Business leader Wins Inspiring Others Award at Tees Businesswomen Awards

Melissa Coutts, the Managing Director of Recruitrite UK, has been honoured with the Inspiring Others Award at the Tees Businesswomen Awards. This award recognises Melissa for her outstanding leadership, dedication, and commitment to empowering women in her workplace and throughout the business community.

The Tees Businesswomen Awards is a highly acclaimed event that celebrates the achievements and contributions of exceptional women in the Teesside business community. Melissa Coutts has been at the helm of Recruitrite since she founded it in 2018 and has over 20 years’ experience in the recruitment sector. 

The award win highlights Melissa's dedication to the local community, her staff and her business. Her leadership has helped Recruitrite achieve remarkable growth, and her commitment to mentoring and empowering women in and outside of the workplace has set an inspiring example for others. She is actively involved in supporting local charities and organisations, illustrating the spirit of corporate social responsibility.

On receiving the Inspiring Others Award, Melissa commented, "I am really honoured to have received this award. I felt incredibly proud to stand in a room full of strong and inspiring businesswomen, each of whom is breaking barriers and making their own mark across the North East. Winning the award is a real testament to the hard work and dedication of my entire team. I am proud to represent a company that values the community we live in, and I am committed to continuing our mission of inspiring and supporting women in business. Building strong business relationships and collaborating with fellow business leaders is really important to me. It not only fosters growth and development in the region but also plays a pivotal role in fulfilling and encouraging social responsibility. By forging professional connections, businesses can tap into a network of support, expertise, and resources that are vital for success.”

Melissa and the Recruitrite team are also shortlisted for 2 awards at the upcoming North East Chambers Inspiring Females Awards taking place in November.

Caroline Noble, Marketing Manager at Recruitrite says “I am continuously inspired by Melissa’s commitment to not only the business, but to social responsibility. She leads with genuine passion and has shown me that success is not an individual accomplishment but a collective journey.
