GTR Leaders in Trade 2024: The winners

The GTR Leaders in Trade awards highlight excellence in the trade, commodity, supply chain and export finance and fintech markets. The winners in each category are based on submissions sent to GTR and, where relevant, Best Deals signed in 2023 were referenced as further substantiation for GTR’s decisions.

GTR revealed the shortlist for the Leaders in Trade awards in February, and the winners were revealed for the first time at the GTR Charity Awards Dinner on May 1.

Congratulations to the winners! A full write-up on their achievements will be published in GTR Q3 2024.
