As Sue Chapple, the CEO of the Chartered Institute of Credit Management (CICM), said in her opening speech, "We are the cavalry," and the industry is in good hands.

The awards ceremony was a night to celebrate the best and brightest in the credit management and collections industry. From innovative new products and services to outstanding customer service, the winners showcased the talent and dedication that goes into keeping our economy running smoothly.

But the awards were more than just a night of celebration. They were also a reminder of the important role that credit management and debt collections plays in our society. As Sue Chapple said,

We live in a society where everyone is waiting for the cavalry to arrive. We hope that governments will focus on the right things. We hope that small businesses will thrive and we hope for peace on Earth and a million other things. But there is no cavalry unless we create it. Nobody is coming to save us. You, me, us. We are the cavalry.
