Spotlight on Leadership
Honouring the Trailblazers of Credit
This summer at Credit Week 2026, we returned to Celtic Manor with a refreshed approach to recognising the people shaping the future of credit and financial services.
This year, spotlight on Leadership moved away from traditional categories and a single standout winner. Instead, we recognised outstanding individuals across the industry for the role they play, the impact they make and the leadership they show in their own field.
Leadership does not sit in one job title, one department or one corner of the sector. It can be found in the people driving change, supporting teams, improving customer outcomes, influencing strategy and helping the industry move forward.
Explore this year’s Recognised & Honoured Leaders and register your interest to attend in 2027.
