Women in Credit Awards 2023 | Shard Financial Media | 30 June 2023 | The Brewery, 52 Chiswell St, London EC1Y 4SA, UK

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

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.
