Now in their second year, The Investment Week 'Women in Investment Awards' were launched to promote greater diversity in the sector and to celebrate the great achievements of women working in this industry. Church House is delighted that a member of the Private Client team has been recognised as a 'Rising Star' of the industry and to have representation in a small group of finalists that includes professionals from BNY Mellon, Goldman Sachs and BlackRock. 

Emma Parkes, who has now been with the company for three years, plays an important role in the management of a wide range of client relationships. Building on her previous experience with Barclays Wealth and Varde Partners, she continues to make an invaluable contribution to the development of Church House. 

Speaking on behalf of the company, James Johnsen, the Director responsible for Private Clients said "I am really pleased for Emma. This is great recognition for all the hard work she puts in. Hopefully her position as a finalist can be a source of inspiration for other women to join the industry".
