We are very proud to announce that our Chief Corporate Officer, Andrea Rozario, is a finalist in The Financial Reporters Women’s Recognition Awards (FRWRA)
After the introduction of the HM Treasury’s Women in Finance Charter, there has been a growing momentum for a more diverse and equal financial services community.
The FRWRA which launched this year aims to support this pledge for gender balance across the industry and strive to be a part of this positive change. It aims to do this by recognising the successful women steering change in the industry who demonstrate that hard work merits success, regardless of gender.
In total there are 15 award categories in which talented women across the finance sector have been nominated. Andrea has been shortlisted for the ‘Woman in Later Life Lending.’ This particular title will be awarded to “a woman whose work in later life lending has helped to shape the sector and helped tackle the issues around an ageing society.”
I’m very happy to be one of the finalists in the Financial Reporters Women’s Recognition Awards this year. The Financial Services sector and the Equity Release industry is filled with some of the most competent women in business and I am proud to work alongside these fabulous ladies, but that’s not forgetting the many gentlemen whom make this industry great! Good luck to all the finalists
