Perivan attend the PLC Awards Dinner 2023
March 2024
The plc awards were founded in 1987 and are 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. They aim 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, they 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 was 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.
The Event was sponsored by BDO in association with the London Stock Exchange and BlackRock. It was presented by Rachel Burden, a keynote speech was given by Bim Afolami, Economic Secretary to the Treasury and the after-dinner entertainment was provided by The Reverend Richard Coles.
John Ranson, Sales Director at Perivan was delighted to attend the event as a guest of the London Stock Exchange.
