The Right Mortgage & Protection Network marks International Women’s Day 2026

05 March 2026

The Right Mortgage & Protection Network (TRM) is today marking International Women’s Day by celebrating the progress made across the industry and reinforcing its ongoing commitment to advance gender equality within the business and the wider financial services sector.

As part of this year’s celebrations, Nicola Ventrella, Operations Director at TRM, will speak at Legal & General’s 2026 International Women’s Day event entitled, ‘Together We Rise - Celebrating Women & Male Allies’, and will be joined at the event by TRM Managing Director, Ben Allen, as an ally.

The event will bring together senior leaders from across the mortgage and financial services sector to discuss progress, representation and the role of allyship in driving meaningful change.

Nicola will join a panel covering, ‘Beyond the Room: Stories of Progress and the Actions We Accelerated’, exploring practical steps taken to advance inclusion.

The full-day meeting agenda also features an ‘I Am Remarkable’ workshop on challenging bias and building confidence in self-promotion, and a panel debate, ‘Stronger Together: Building a Culture of Allyship’, focused on the role male allies play in supporting equity across the workplace.

TRM said events like these are vital in sustaining momentum around inclusion, creating space for open discussion and collaboration between women and male allies across the sector.

TRM said it seeks to lead by example in these areas with an equal workforce and Board split and no gender pay gap, reinforcing its belief that diversity and equal opportunity must be embedded at every level.

The network said it will also be launching its own specific Women’s Event in the near future for female AR firm business owners, with more details to follow.

Nicola Ventrella, Operations Director at The Right Mortgage & Protection Network, said:

“International Women’s Day is both a celebration and a call to action. While progress has been made, continued collaboration is essential to ensure lasting change. At TRM, we’re committed to leading by example, with equal representation across our workforce and Board and no gender pay gap. Events like ‘Together We Rise’ play an important role in deepening allyship and accelerating positive change across our sector and I’m honoured to be taking part. At TRM we’re excited to continue the momentum that can be generated by such events, with the launch of our own later this year.”
