As part of our vision – to recognise, attract and invest in Finance talent – we’ll be sharing the stories of people who make up the finance community, and celebrating the economic growth and impact they drive in Wales. Now in our third year, we’re excited to announce our winners and welcome new talent to the Finance Awards Wales family”.
