This summer at Credit Week 2026, we are returning to Celtic Manor, bringing together the leaders and rising stars who are redefining the future of credit and financial services.
Leadership is about much more than seniority; it’s about vision, courage, and creating lasting impact. Across every level of the industry, individuals are driving change and setting new benchmarks of success. These Awards shine a light on these achievements, offering a prized opportunity to be recognised amongst peers and celebrated at one of the industry’s most meaningful gatherings.
Find your category and join us in celebrating the people shaping the future.
Give your Leadership Awards experience a boost by joining us at Credit Week. Taking place at the renowned Celtic Manor, expect top level insights and new connections. There’s a reason Credit Week won Event of the Year and Best Launch/Relaunch of the Year at the PPA Awards 2024 and Best UK Conference / Event at the Conference & Events Awards 2025! 🎉

Credit and financial services is full of talented people, the staggering growth of the Women in Credit Awards clearly demonstrates this. Our latest launch, The Leadership Awards, naturally follows and allows us to reward and recognise those who demonstrate outstanding leadership from c-suite to manager level and from the full spectrum of credit and financial services in its entirety.
