Women in Credit Awards 2021 | Shard Financial Media | 30 April 2021 | Leonardo Royal London Tower Bridge, 45 Prescot St, London E1 8GP, UK

The Women in Credit Awards champion the work of a range of incredible women across the entire credit and financial services industry. They empower, connect, support and uncover achievements among inspirational women in the profession..

Gender issues are important for a thriving profession and the Women in Credit brand highlights and encourages more debate on these issues. From board representation, diversity policies, gender pay, returning to work, as well as differences in leadership styles, we believe there is a place for a platform to highlight and discuss these matters. The awards form a pivotal part of the Women in Credit brand which Credit Strategy continues to grow through a series of forums and networking events.
