Dan Gaydon and Tim Gilkison represented Perivan by joining almost 300 attendees at the Quoted Companies Alliance’s flagship Annual Conference 2026 for small to mid-sized quoted companies and their advisors, which was held at the Leonardo Royal Hotel, London City on 4th June.

The event, which was sponsored by INSPIRED, Peel Hunt and Investor’s Chronicle, was titled ‘Scaling for Success’.

Small and mid-sized quoted companies are the growth engines of the UK, however, realising their potential requires an environment that champions growth. The 2026 conference brought together senior politicians, regulators, investors, and company directors to tackle the most pressing issues facing this community today:

• Capital Allocation: Channelling vital investment where it is needed most to fuel the next stage of corporate growth.
• Proportionate Regulation: Continuing our campaign to ensure regulation maintains investor protection without placing undue administrative burdens on smaller firms.
• Harnessing Technology: Examining how AI can ease the growing challenge of corporate reporting and non-financial disclosures.
• Modernizing Markets: Discussing the transition away from paper share certificates and other levers to improve market efficiency and liquidity

The guest speakers included:

• Rachel Blake MP, Economic Secretary to the Treasury
• Andrew Griffith MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Business & Trade
• Steven Fine, Chief Executive, Peel Hunt
• Marcus Stuttard, Head of UK Primary Markets & AIM, London Stock Exchange Group
• Mark Austin, Chair, DEMAT Taskforce

Perivan joined the QCA in August 2022 and works closely with around 100 fellow QCA members who are either corporate clients, financial advisers or strategic partners.
