In May 2019, we hosted a Women in Finance Charter Briefing and signed the HM Treasury Women in Finance Charter, pledging to ensure gender diversity exists within our leadership team.
As a signatory, we are fully committed to creating a more balanced and fair industry and to engage with other financial service firms to support the progression of women in senior roles. Signing the declaration and committing to 4 topics;
- Senior executive accountable for gender diversity
- Gender diversity targets in senior management
- Senior executive pay linked to gender diversity targets
- Publish progress annually against these targets.
Our commitment
As a growing business, we believe in working with people of different backgrounds, cultures and thinking styles to build our understanding and knowledge. A part of this is fostering equality and opportunity for everybody, regardless of gender.
In May 2019, we proudly signed the Women in Finance Charter, committing to gender diversity in senior management. At that time, 50% of our senior management team were women.
Since then, we’ve continued to track and publish our progress each year. Women have consistently represented well over half of our senior management team, ranging from 63% in 2022, to 60% in 2023, and 57% in both 2024 and 2025. This reflects our ongoing commitment to maintaining strong female representation, always above our 50% target.
We continue to focus on recruitment and training; implementing ‘Gender Equality Training’ for managers to reduce unconscious bias, ensuring fair representation of women on interview panels, and inviting external female leaders in financial services to share their experience with our team. We also review our flexible working policies to support working parents and actively take part in industry events and networks such as She’s On The Money and the Women in Finance Awards.
