It’s triple award glory for MoS money expert Rachel

RACHEL Rickard Straus, The Mail on Sunday’s outstanding Deputy Personal Finance Editor, swept the field at last week’s prestigious Headline Money awards.

Rachel, pictured with her awards, joined the paper a year ago and was voted overall money journalist of the year for her work across the newspaper’s must-read Personal Finance and Wealth sections. She was also named both savings and investment journalist of the year.

At a glitzy awards ceremony in Central London, praise was heaped on Rachel, with judges describing her financial journalism as possessing a ‘human touch’. Her work on Wealth came in for particular praise. One judge said: ‘She aims to help people invest their money and does it very well.’ Another described her writing as ‘beautiful’.

The awards, dubbed the Oscars of financial journalism, confirm The Mail on Sunday’s commitment to money coverage par excellence. Led by the multiaward-winning Jeff Prestridge, the Personal Finance and Wealth sections are considered essential weekend reading for those who want to ensure they make the right financial decisions and choices. A key component of the brilliant Mail on Sunday.
