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.
The event is attended by plc company chairmen, CEOs, CFOs, investment bankers, fund managers, analysts, IR executives, corporate advisers and pre-IPO companies.

In short, a future company of the year, but one that has too short a track record as a public company to be considered for that award. The winner will have gone public in 2022, yet will already have demonstrated to the wider investment community that it possesses exceptional growth and management qualities and that it is a formidable growth company in the making, with the accent on long-term sustainable growth and development, and fully aware of its societal responsibilities.

criteria
The winner of this award will be a company that has clearly demonstrated that success is not just a short-term phenomenon. The winning company will undoubtedly be successful in share price terms, but with full realisation that share price is but one method of measurement. Improved, sustainable profitability is a given. The winner will be a professionally managed, conservatively run growth business with a long-term vision and strategy in place together with leadership in terms of environmental, social and governance guidelines.
The winner will be cognisant of its stakeholders and supply chain and will have championed diversity and inclusion throughout the workplace. The company’s development to date will have been soundly financed in a way which supports the longevity, sustainability and resilience of the business, including effective succession planning.

The event

Sponsorship opportunities sometimes become available, including sponsorship of an individual award, sponsorship of the official drinks reception or sponsorship of the menu. Sponsorship opportunities are, by their very nature, limited. Costs and availability on request.
Hosting a table
Reservations are available for tables of ten people. Numbers are strictly limited and reservations are taken on a first come, first served basis.
Advertising
Advertising in the brochure is welcomed and enables your key messages to reach a highly targeted audience. The event brochure is available on the night and contains details of all the nominees, the programme for the night, the running order and the menu. Uniquely, it also contains the names of all attendees, in alphabetical and table order. Thus it is widely used as a corporate finance reference guide for up to a year after the event.

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 2021 and the total amount raised, which was split equally between our supported charities, bccs and Plan International UK, was:
£14,129
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.
Plan International UK is a global children’s charity working with children, especially girls, growing up in some of the world’s poorest communities. The charity makes sure they have access to the education, health care, clean water and future opportunities they need to thrive, as well as promoting girls’ rights.
Plan UK also responds when disasters happen by providing emergency relief and supporting communities to recover, rebuild and develop their resilience. As a member of the DEC (Disasters Emergency Committee), Plan UK are working on the ground with local partners at Ukraine’s borders in response to the ongoing crisis, providing child protection and psychosocial support as well as cash support for families and educational support. All money raised for Plan International UK at the plc awards will go towards the emergency response in Ukraine.
