Credit Awards 2020 | Credit Strategy | 14 February 2020 | JW Marriott Grosvenor House London, 86-90 Park Ln, Mayfair, London W1K 7TN, United Kingdom

The awards, known as 'the Oscars of the industry' recognise and reward innovation, best practice and the hard work of individuals, business divisions and pan-global conglomerates across the entire industry.

31 categories are open for entry including industry favorites such as 'Vulnerable Customer Strategy of the Year', 'Best Marketing Campaign of the Year' and 'Rising Star'. Reflecting the uncertain and volatile environment many in the profession are having to negotiate, a new award for 'Outstanding Achievement in Risk' has been introduced.
