"The class of 2024 is yet another exceptional crop of women and businesses our industry can be very proud of and it's been a pleasure getting to celebrate you all!"

Financial Reporter is delighted to announce the winners of its 2024 Women's Recognition Awards.
The awards programme, now in its seventh year, aims to support the growing momentum for a more diverse and equal financial services community, recognising achievement in particular fields such as mortgages and specialist lending, alongside adviser-focused categories.
The WRAs also reward people and businesses in the industry who have made notable strides towards gender equality, either through raising awareness or by implementing specific changes within their workplace.
Alongside the existing award categories, three new categories launched this year - Mortgage administrator of the year, DEI mental health champion, and Entrepreneur of the year.
The winners were announced at last night's prestigious Women's Recognition Awards Winners’ Party at the Roundhouse in London, featuring a drinks reception, entertainment, three-course meal and an exclusive after party.

"A huge well done to our WRA24 winners: the class of 2024 is yet another exceptional crop of women and businesses our industry can be very proud of and it's been a pleasure getting to celebrate you all!"
