About #WRA26

The Women's Recognition Awards are back for 2026 and bigger and better than ever

The Financial Reporter Women's Recognition Awards, launched in 2018, aims to support the growing momentum for a more diverse and equal financial services community.

Following the introduction of HM Treasury's Women in Finance Charter, momentum has gathered behind the movement towards making financial services a welcoming space for women, and one in which they are given the tools and opportunities to thrive.

While we have no doubt that there are countless deserving nominees, there can only be one winner per category – and our panel of expert judges, with their wisdom, experience and insight, will help us choose those who will be recognised at the third annual FRWRA awards evening.

The Financial Reporter Women's Recognition Awards winners announcement will take place on the 15th October 2026 in the beautiful setting of Exhibition White City – an evening celebrating achievement, hope, and progress in our industry, with exceptional food and entertainment as we celebrate our winners.
