Hope Capital Property Finance leads the way in gender diversity with record female representation
Hope Capital Property Finance is setting new standards in the financial sector with record female representation across its leadership and workforce. 82% of its senior management team are women, and 61% of the total workforce are female, a clear sign of the company’s ongoing commitment to inclusivity and equality in a sector still largely dominated by men.
Since signing HM Treasury’s Women in Finance Charter in 2018, Hope Capital has consistently championed female representation at all levels, recognising that diversity drives innovation, attracts top talent, and strengthens business performance.
Kate Cowan, chief financial and operating officer, said: “Since our 2024 announcement, when 78% of senior management and 54% of the workforce were women, we have seen meaningful growth in representation. Celebrating women, creating visible leadership pathways, and recognising achievements remain central to our mission. Renewing our commitment to the Women in Finance Charter reaffirms our pledge to build a fairer, more inclusive future in finance.”
Jonathan Sealey, chief executive officer, added: “This week, we proudly celebrated our all-female senior leadership team, now operating entirely at director level. In a sector still largely led by men, this is a historic achievement for our company. It reflects the skill, dedication, and leadership of our team, and underscores our determination to lead the way in gender diversity across financial services.”
