Anna and Gabriella attend the inaugural Women in Finance Collective event

Last week, Anna and Gabriella had the privilege of attending the inaugural Women in Finance Collective event, hosted right here in Birmingham.

A gathering of ambition and inspiration

The event was a gathering of women at various stages of their careers in the finance industry; creating an inspiring environment for learning, sharing, and growth.

From seasoned professionals with decades of experience to those just starting their journey in finance, the event showcased the breadth of expertise, ambition, and potential in the finance industry. It was an empowering experience that was likely to leave attendees feeling motivated to make bold moves — both individually and collectively.

Cross-sector voices, shared goals

The event brought together top professionals from across various sectors, including fintech, consulting, financial planning, wealth management, platforms, and providers. The goal was to spark meaningful connections, exchange innovative ideas, and drive change within the finance world.

“This is your chance to be part of something bigger. Together, we’re building a strong, supportive, and empowering network — one that goes far beyond London.”

The power of community

The sense of community fostered throughout the event was palpable, much of that owing to the incredible work of Tessa Lee, Louise Wallis from moneyinfo, and Chris Baigent-Reed from Jigsawtree. Their commitment to bringing together like-minded individuals for an insightful and reflective morning was truly inspiring.

The event provided only an opportunity to examine the challenges women in finance face today, and sparked forward-thinking conversations about how we can shape the future of the industry.

“Step into a dynamic community where ambition meets opportunity. Whether you’re here to expand your network, gain fresh insights, or be inspired by fellow leaders, this is your moment to engage with powerhouse women shaping the future of finance.”

Reflections from PLOTT

The event was a reminder of the power of collaboration and support for Anna, who said: “The energy and collaboration in the room was inspiring — it’s a reminder that whether you’re starting your career or well-established, we’re stronger together. Here’s to growth, learning, and supporting each other — let’s make waves in finance!”

And Gabriella expressed her gratitude for the event, sharing: “Wow! What a fantastic group of women. A massive thank you to the Women in Finance Collective for the warm welcome. There was such a wealth of experience in the room and it was great to hear your stories.”

Looking ahead

As this incredible event wraps up, we’re already looking ahead. Rumour has it that another exceptional gathering is already in the works for July.

We are so grateful to have been part of such an empowering event, and look forward to continuing the conversations, collaborations, and growth in the months ahead. Together, we are stronger, and the future of finance has never looked brighter.
