About
over 30 years of celebrating success
The plc awards was founded in 1987 and is usually held every year in March. These awards are open to all those companies listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange – colloquially known as the “plc club”. The success of the awards has led to it being broadened out to include FTSE100 companies as well as the FTSE250, FTSE Small Cap and Fledgling indices. Our aim is to truly make it ‘the’ City event of the year and to allow all Main Market publicly quoted companies, of whatever size, the chance to be rewarded and recognised for their successes and achievements.
Once again, this year we have widened the criteria for each category to give full emphasis to ESG practices – covering well known environmental issues, along with social issues and governance matters. Due regard will be given to adherence to current ESG Best Practice and any demonstrable ESG policies that have directly impacted decision making.
The event is attended by plc company chairmen, CEOs, CFOs, investment bankers, fund managers, analysts, IR executives, corporate advisers and pre-IPO companies.

Success in communicating effectively with professional and private investors, current and potential shareholders, and all stakeholders is the main criterion behind this award.

The voting panel will also look for innovation and engagement on the company’s IR website, which should be intuitive to use, and contain all relevant information in one place. The winning company will also make good use of video to help communicate the investment case and have implemented a clear social media strategy.
Due to the ever increasing importance of ESG considerations, companies will now also have their ESG practices scrutinised as part of the nomination process.

transformation of the year award
Sponsored by:
transformation of the year award
Sponsored by
criteria
This award recognises companies that have transformed their performance and long term prospects for the better, through strategic, operational and/or financial change. It celebrates companies that have embarked on a journey of material “self-help”, where significant progress only becomes visible after a year or more but which has become clear during the period under review.
Typically this transformation will have been initiated by boards placing sustainable long term shareholder returns at the top of their list of priorities and executed by executives who act and think like owners.
The Voting Panel will be looking for companies whose long term prospects have been transformed, with the accent on sustainable improvements in customer satisfaction, profitability, cashflow, return on capital, balance sheet strength/efficiency and organic growth prospects.

Charity
Since formation in 1987, the plc awards has held a charity collection principally for the benefit of child-focused charities. The total amount of money raised to date by attendees at plc awards dinners is over £600,000. Thank you so much for your generosity – the charities concerned are all extremely grateful.
A charity collection was held at the plc awards 2022 and the total amount raised, which was split equally between our supported charities, bccs and Action for Children, was
£7,422
One in every ten children has a diagnosable mental health disorder – that’s roughly three in every classroom. A recent survey conducted also found 22% of girls and 9% of boys were self-harming. These alarming statistics demonstrate just how important it is to look after children’s mental health.
bccs is a children’s charity covering East London and Essex, with the primary focus of providing counselling for children and young adults whose wellbeing, mental or emotional health is at risk.
At Action for Children our vision is that every child and young person has a safe and happy childhood, and the foundations they need to thrive. We protect and support children and young people by providing practical and emotional care and support, ensuring their voices are heard and we campaign to bring lasting improvements to their lives.
For more than 150 years, Action for Children has been providing a range of expert services to support the UK’s most vulnerable children. Last year, we helped 671,275 children, young people and families across the UK. We did this through our 477 services in local communities across the UK, in schools and online. Our work includes placements for children and young people in care, emergency grants, practical parenting advice and much more.
