Here they are. The finalists for the fourth annual Professional Pensions Women in Pensions Awards...

 

Congratulations to all the individuals and organisations that have been shortlisted for this year.

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.

Professional Pensions has had an exceptional response to these awards, and all 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 at the Marriott Grosvenor Square in London alongside the Rising Star Awards.
