We are delighted to announce that Joanna Finlay from Virgin Money has been named the 2017 Chartered Banker Young Banker of the Year during the final of the competition held at London’s Mansion House on 4 September.
After scooping this year’s title, Joanna Finlay was presented with the UK Young Banker of the Year 2017 trophy and a voucher for an overseas holiday for two by the Lord Mayor of the City of London, Alderman Dr Andrew Parmley.
Joanna Finlay commented: “I am absolutely thrilled to have been named this year’s UK Young Banker of the Year. I entered the competition as an opportunity to provide a voice for unbanked people.
