Spotlight on Leadership

Honouring the Trailblazers of Credit

 

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.
