Who are this year's top female mortgage leaders?
Mortgage Introducer has unveiled its 2025 Elite Women list, recognising female leaders across the UK mortgage and financial services sector. The annual list highlights professionals making a significant impact in an industry where men have traditionally held the majority of leadership roles.
This year, 76 women from various areas of the financial sector — including mortgage brokering, banking, lending, specialist finance, compliance, insurance, and legal services — have been acknowledged for their contributions. After carefully reviewing nominations, the MI team selected the 2025 Elite Women for their efforts in driving innovation, promoting diversity, and leading positive change within their organisations.
The initiative aims to showcase the influence of female professionals in the mortgage space and highlight the value of diverse perspectives in fostering industry growth. The featured women have demonstrated leadership in challenging industry norms, improving business practices, and supporting the next generation of mortgage professionals.
