Credit Management March 2020

The CICM
British Credit
Awards
2020
Advancing the
credit profession
Philip King FCICM
Chief Executive of the CICM
FOR more than 80 years now, the Chartered
Institute of Credit Management has
been committed to advancing the credit
profession, empowering our members with
the tools and qualifications they need to
progress their own careers, and help their
employers better manage their cash.
We have always been guided by the
key principles of driving best practice in
credit management and helping businesses
to grow. We are today a professional
community of many thousands, recognised
within Government, the media, and key
business organisations and partners as a
positive force for good, helping to support
an economy that is the platform for future
growth and prosperity.
In this pre-Brexit world, the CICM is not
only focused on promoting the importance
of credit management to businesses and
Government. We are also committed to
promoting credit management to individuals
as a career, and then supporting those
individuals with essential qualifications and
learning as their careers progress. We are,
fundamentally, a membership body, and
we never lose sight of that fact. We have a
key duty to ensure our members receive the
credit and recognition for the vital role that
they perform.
Recognition comes in many forms, not
least in Awards such as these. The CICM
UK British Credit Awards seek to recognise
individuals and companies that demonstrate
the very highest standards of excellence
and were voted for by a distinguished panel
of judges. So whether you were a winner,
highly commended, or simply made the
short-list, you can be proud of what you have
achieved.
