Wolverhampton City Credit Union (WCCU) announce that it has won the Black Country Chamber of Commerce Award for Excellence in Diversity & Equality.

In order to gain this accreditation, WCCU has completed a self-assessment against the code requirements explaining in a comprehensive manner the outcomes of our practise. The assessment was then rigorously reviewed, and accreditation gained.

WCCU prides itself on being a diverse and equal opportunities employer and financial service provider. The credit union employ and serve people from a broad range of ethnicities and lifestyles. Its financial products are designed for the youngest of the WV population (Junior Saver Account) to the more elderly in our local community.

Its Wolverhampton based team consists of 11 employees of mixed gender and ethnicity. This also applies to our Board where our 8 members also represent different backgrounds and a wealth of experience in a range of areas. 61% of our members are female.

CEO of WCCU, Rob Shearing said: “Internally as an organisation we’re acutely aware of the work we’ve done but to have this recognised by others in such a competitive environment is fantastic. We are so proud of all the team it makes the hard work, difficult decisions and challenges all worth it.”
