- This event has passed.
PIMFA is the trade association for the wealth management, investment services and financial advice sector. One of its roles is to promote talent, diversity and inclusion within this space, highlight best practice and develop initiatives to help build an industry which better reflects its increasingly diverse customer base.
There are many instances of good practice which remain hidden or unrecognised. Businesses both large and small will have examples of innovation aimed at improving their inclusivity and performance, which in turn drives positive change across the industry.
Further, there is a stream of exceptional, diverse talent coming up through the ranks in our industry that is changing businesses for the better, engendering greater support for diverse communities and clients, and helping to develop and lead innovation.
We have launched the PIMFA D&I Awards to celebrate this.
The Awards are FREE to enter and open to all firms and stakeholders in the sector – you do not have to be a PIMFA member to enter.
If you have any questions about booking your table for the 2023 Awards ceremony, please contact PIMFA’s Events Team on events@pimfa.co.uk.
