The Rising Star Awards aim to celebrate the emerging talent in pensions – recognising and identifying the sector's future leaders as well as shining the spotlight on the organisations and individuals that are helping develop and foster new talent in the industry.

Professional Pensions has had an exceptional response to these awards - and now the entries have been assessed by our panel of eminent judges.

The winners will be announced on 24 November at, we hope, an in-person gala dinner alongside the Women in Pensions Awards.
