Professional Pensions launched the inaugural Rising Stars Awards 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.

Do you work with someone who is a rising star within pensions? Or perhaps there is someone in your midst who has been a role model or mentor to those who are beginning their career working in the pensions sector. If so, we are ready to celebrate their achievements at the eighth annual Professional Pensions Rising Stars Awards.

The Professional Pensions Rising Stars Awards are about celebrating and recognising the achievements of those at the beginning of their career in the sector – shining a spotlight on their success and championing the organisations that do the most to develop young talent in the pensions industry.

Do you work with a woman who is a trailblazer within pensions? Or perhaps you know a woman whose contribution to a project or task has gone above and beyond?  Perhaps there is an inspiring newcomer to the industry in your midst, or a dynamic lawyer, administrator, or mentor who deserves to be recognised at the highest level.

If so, PP is ready to celebrate their achievements at the 8th annual Women in Pensions Awards, where the industry comes together to recognise the accomplishments of the dynamic talent among us.

The Women in Pensions Awards are all about appreciating the most remarkable achievements of women in the sector as they push to make our industry better and brighter every year.

Having access to a broader pool of talent can help to create a more sustainable pensions industry for all; encouraging the very highest level of gender diversity is a crucial step to accomplishing this. In highlighting the achievements of women already in the sector, the Women in Pensions Awards will help to inspire more women to lend their skills and experience to the rewarding industry of pensions.

The Women in Pensions Awards firmly believes that initiatives that aim to inspire and campaign for greater representation of women both in pensions and on trustee boards have a key role to play in supporting gender diversity. We believe the Women in Pensions Awards can complement these initiatives by shining a spotlight on the work of inspirational and ground-breaking women in the pensions sector.
