Moneysupermarket Group’s Post

Yesterday we launched the Moneysupermarket Group Female Leadership Forum. Over 50 women from across the Group spent the day learning not only from one another's experiences, but also from incredible award-winning author, speaker, leadership adviser and coach - Maxine Nwaneri - who facilitated the day.   A highlight being the very open and moving panel discussion Maxine chaired with female members of our board and executive team.   “It was an honour to be part of such a phenomenal initiative, and day in this amazing organisation. With so many people in Britain struggling due to higher costs of living, Moneysupermarket Group’s mission to help Brits save serious money is more needed than ever. Empowering and inspiring their brilliant female leaders to continue to play their part in that was deeply fulfilling, and fun! Thank you so much!" - Maxine Nwaneri.   This event is the first of many designed to demonstrate our commitment to supporting women to excel in their career with confidence at Moneysupermarket Group and beyond. #BelongAtMSMG

Last week our London offices were transformed into an artist's studio for a 'sip and paint' social - who knew so many colleagues had a passion for painting? A great excuse to get together and get creative! #BelongAtMSMG

This Debt Awareness Week StepChange Debt Charity is focussing on the barriers to getting debt advice. What better time to share some of the stories from the MoneySuperMarket Money Talks campaign. Launched this year in partnership with Campaign Against Living Miserably, this campaign is designed to break the taboo that stops people talking about money worries so they can get help and support sooner.    Here's Milena Sanchez's story - Sunday Times best selling author and founder of the receipts podcast. To help people get support before they reach crisis point, we’ve created The Money Talks hub with first-hand money experiences, expert guides, and tips on having conversations about money. https://lnkd.in/db_uwSii #DebtAwarenessWeek 

Last week we welcomed non-profit Luminary Bakery into our London offices to host an 'eat and greet', combining the opportunity to try their delicious cakes with hearing more about this incredible organisation. Colleagues had the opportunity to hear from enormously passionate team members Chiarra Facco and Leonie Burns, who explained how the charity supports women who experience social and economic disadvantages. Find out more here - https://lnkd.in/efm3GsPV We also had the pleasure of LVL London Ltd founders Lori Powell and Louise Powell joining us to run two sessions exploring inclusion in the workplace and gender equality. The opportunity to hear their experiences and guidance, alongside having time to network with colleagues across our own organisation with their support was invaluable. #HelpingHouseholdsSave #iwd2024
