Wongs Jewellers' Cynthia Cartwright Wins Prestigious Fellowship Award at Merseyside Women of the Year 2025

11 Jul 2025

Wongs Jewellers is proud to announce that Cynthia Cartwright, Commercial Director of the iconic Liverpool-based jewellers, has been honoured with the 2025 Fellowship Award at the Merseyside Women of the Year (MWOTY) Awards.

Recognised for her outstanding leadership, innovation, and community impact, Cynthia received the MWOTY Fellowship Award during a prestigious ceremony celebrating the region’s most inspiring women. Her win marks a significant milestone not only for Cynthia personally, but also for Wongs Jewellers as a business driven by purpose and progress.

Cynthia joined Wongs Jewellers in 2014 and quickly became a driving force within the organisation. Her blend of commercial acumen, bold decision-making, and infectious enthusiasm led to her appointment to the board in 2022—making her the first non-family member in Wongs’ 45-year history to achieve such a position.

Under her strategic leadership, Wongs enjoyed its most successful trading year in 2023, achieving record-breaking profitability and expanding its footprint beyond Liverpool with a new presence in Manchester. In 2024, the company was officially certified as a Great Place to Work and recognised among the UK’s top small businesses at the Best Workplaces Awards.

Cynthia has also been instrumental in driving Wongs’ commitment to social impact. Over the past decade, the business has raised over £250,000 for charitable causes, strengthening its legacy as a community-focused brand.

Commenting on the award, Cynthia said,

"I’m truly honoured to receive the MWOTY Fellowship Award. This recognition is a reflection of the incredible team at Wongs and the shared belief that business success and community impact go hand in hand. I’m proud of how far we’ve come—and even more excited for what’s ahead."

The MWOTY Fellowship Award is presented to a woman who has demonstrated exceptional long-term impact in her field and community. Cynthia joins an esteemed group of past recipients who continue to shape the region through leadership, mentorship, and purpose-driven work.
