The awards were presented at the FSC Awards Dinner, held in conjunction with the FSC24 Conference in Auckland.
Congratulating all the winners, FSC acting CEO Haydee Stroud highlighted the competitive nature of this year’s entries.
“The quality of the entries and the number of great outcomes that have been a result of the work on show meant some challenging decisions for the judges,” she said.
Nearly 40 entries were received for this year’s awards, covering a broad spectrum of contributions, from individual efforts to team initiatives and community programs.
The awards aim to acknowledge the impact these efforts have on both the financial services industry and the wider community.
The event was sponsored by PwC New Zealand.
