Women in Pensions 2024 — The winners!

Here they are… the winners of the Professional Pensions Women in Pensions Awards 2024.

The Women in Pensions Awards aim to shine a spotlight on the work of inspirational women in the pensions sector, along with the mentors and organisations supporting them.

Our winners were announced last night (14 November) at a gala dinner at the Hilton Bankside in London.

There was an exceptional response to these awards this year with a record number of submissions to the Professional Pensions judging panel.

In choosing this year's winners, judges took into account: achievements in the workplace/role; challenges faced; evidence of contributions to support and inspire women; and the overall quality of the submission.
