Women in Finance Awards 2019 – Latrena Petkova makes the final shortlist

We are delighted to announce that Latrena Petkova has made the final shortlist for the ‘Women of the Year awards – Paraplanning’ in the ‘Professional Adviser – Women in Finance Awards 2019’.

As those who know Latrena will testify, she has worked tirelessly over the past year or so to help build our proposition and without her, it goes without saying we would not be in the position we currently are.

Latrena is an integral part of our offering and thoroughly deserves this nomination.  She is a credit not just to Women in Finance, but to our profession in general.  We wish her every success in the final on July 3rd.

Fingers crossed!
