This week, Professional Adviser revealed the finalists for the Women in Financial Advice Awards 2024. Out of a total of 1500 entries, their panel of 30 expert judges narrowed down the nominees to a shortlist of categories, in which we are delighted to announce that a number of Integrity365’s female financial advisers have been awarded a total of five finalist positions.
Debbie Packer Dip CII, MCSI, Founding Financial Adviser
Founding Financial Adviser Debbie Packer has been shortlisted for two categories in this year’s Women in Financial Advice Awards: ‘Woman of the Year – Investment Advice’; and ‘Financial Adviser of the Year – Midlands & East Anglia’.
Debbie stated: “I’m delighted to see Integrity365 recognised on this scale by Professional Adviser, and I’m truly honoured to be shortlisted in two categories that resonate so deeply with me. As a founding adviser, I’ve always championed the strong female presence within the business and the industry, and to be included in these prestigious awards alongside three of my colleagues who share my passion for excellent client service is something to be celebrated.”
Sophie Haslehurst APFS, Chartered Financial Planner
Chartered Financial Planner Sophie Haslehurst has also been recognised in the ‘Woman of the Year – Investment Advice’ category for 2024.
Sophie mentioned: “I am delighted to be nominated for this award alongside my fellow Integrity365 Investment Committee member Debbie Packer. We strive to be the best, not only in our key role as advisers to our own clients, but for all clients of Integrity365 whom we represent in this position. To be recognised by the wider profession is an honour, and I am lucky to be part of a firm with such a strong team.”
Nicola Glass DipPFS & CertPFS (DM), Independent Financial Adviser
Since joining the team in 2023, Nicola Glass has taken no time at all to be recognised for her talents at industry level as part of Integrity365. Nicola is a finalist in the ‘Financial Adviser of the Year – South East’ category for 2024 and commented on the process:
“The Women in Financial Advice Awards is a wonderful celebration of female talent and greatly encourages the advancement of fellow female professionals, which I am thrilled to be a part of. In a landscape where only 16% of advisers are women (FCA, 2022), I am proud to see Integrity365 leading the way with so many strong females within our experienced team.”
Coreena Dutton FPFS, Chartered Financial Planner
For the second consecutive year, Coreena Dutton has been awarded a finalist position within the ‘Woman of the Year – Protection Advice’ category. Described as a ‘safe pair of hands’, Coreena not only offers financial protection solutions to individuals, families and businesses, but her expertise also allows her to support fellow advisers through more complex cases as well.
Coreena explained: “I’m passionate about providing tailored protection advice to prepare for life’s uncertainties – and as a mum, I know how important this is in protecting your loved ones. My goal is to empower families with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about their financial well-being, therefore it means a lot to be highlighted within this category.”
We would like to congratulate all of our colleagues who were nominated for these awards and wish our successful finalists the best of luck ahead of the Women in Financial Advice Awards ceremony on Wednesday 6th November 2024 at the London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square.
