Omni-channel turnkey provider Pronet Gaming is proud to announce that several of its team members have been shortlisted for the 2026 Women in Gaming (WIG) Diversity Awards taking place on 12 June at The Savoy Hotel in London.

The WIG Diversity Awards are widely recognised as a leading celebration within the gaming industry, providing employers with an opportunity to highlight wellbeing and the positive impact these values have on business performance and culture. It specifically recognises individuals and organisations demonstrating outstanding commitment to advancing equality, diversity, and inclusion.

In addition to multiple individual nominations, Pronet Gaming has also been shortlisted for the Corporate Wellness Award. This recognition is driven by the company’s initiative in Bulgaria, which provides structured medical and mental health support for employees, reinforcing its commitment to a supportive and sustainable workplace environment.

This year’s individual shortlist recognises eight Pronet Gaming employees across a range of categories, namely:

  • Barsha Shrestha – Employee of the Year;
  • Jovana Grabez – Industry Achiever;
  • Devora Kotseva – Inspiration of the Year; Gina Lama – Leader of the Year;
  • Klara Tomažič – Positive Role Model of the Year;
  • Sunkiran Boyal – Outstanding Mentor;
  • Tilly Chandler – Executive Assistant of the Year;
  • and Desislava Velcheva – HR Champion of the Year.

The company is proud to be shortlisted once again this year, following strong recognition at the 2025 awards, where Pronet Gaming was shortlisted for Company of the Year and Great Place to Work, alongside nine individual nominations.

Among the winners last year was Jade Sienna-Ricciardi, who received the Young Leader of the Year award. The continued recognition reflects Pronet Gaming’s ongoing commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace where individuals from diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences are empowered to thrive.

Commenting on the shortlist, Pronet Gaming CEO Alex Leese highlighted his pride in the achievements of the employees and the wider organisation: “Being shortlisted once again is something we’re incredibly proud of. These nominations reflect not only the talent and dedication of our people, but also our shared commitment to building a positive, supportive, and forward-thinking workplace culture across the business.”
