INSOL International is pleased to share that we have been named winner of the Contribution to Diversity in Restructuring award at the 2026 Global Restructuring Review (GRR) Awards.

The organisation was nominated anonymously, and this makes the award especially welcome, because it suggests the work we are doing is being noticed by people throughout the profession.

Diversity and inclusion are not a separate strand of INSOL’s work. At INSOL London in April, I said that they should remain “powerful, present and practiced” values at the heart of the INSOL experience. As an organisation we strive to ensure that our events, education, publications and networks are accessible and relevant to as many groups within the profession as possible. At INSOL London in April, for example, we had equal representation on stage, with 27 men and 27 women, and held our first DE&I programme at an Annual Conference. These are examples of an approach we apply across the organisation, and we continue to develop the work.

This award belongs to the whole INSOL community: our team, our committees and focus groups, our speakers and volunteers, and the members who take part in what we offer. An organisation is inclusive only to the extent that its community makes it so.

We will keep working to widen access to the profession and to support practitioners at every stage of their careers, wherever they are based.
