The Perivan team was thrilled to host two tables once again at the prestigious AIM Awards Dinner on Thursday 15 October 2026, at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge.

Each year the AIM ‘club’ gathers to celebrate outstanding achievement on the world’s most successful growth market.

Sponsored by BDO in association with the London Stock Exchange, the Awards identify the quoted companies and entrepreneurs who have harnessed AIM to help them fulfil their ambition and growth potential in the last twelve months.

With ESG having an ever-increasing importance, the criteria were widened for each category to give full emphasis to ESG considerations – covering well known environmental issues, along with social issues and governance matters. Due regard was given to alignment with current ESG Best Practice and any demonstrable ESG policies that have directly impacted decision making.

Celebrating 31 years, the AIM Awards Dinner attracts over 1,000 guests including Senior Directors from AIM quoted companies and their advisers – ranging from NOMADS and brokers to accountants, lawyers, investor relations and financial PR professionals, the media and analysts – making it the largest AIM gathering – and, indeed, one of the annual highlights – in the City calendar.

Each year the AIM Awards Dinner is a sell-out event and over the years it has developed its own distinctive atmosphere – ‘professional but fun’.

This year’s dinner was compered by Gillian Joseph, with after dinner entertainment provided by Simon Evans.

Having supported this event since its early beginnings, we were privileged to be part of the celebrations and reflect on our success in this market, having produced 15 of the 19 admission documents published so far this year and welcoming 21 new AIM listed clients to our annual report portfolio in the last 12 months – further cementing our position as the clear market leader.
