Each year the Grant Thornton Quoted Company Awards celebrate the achievements of the UK’s leading smaller companies.
With the business world and stock market moving at an ever-increasing pace, it’s important that we pause and appreciate the outstanding qualities of our leading growth businesses. They are companies that make a vital contribution to our economy today and are the foundation of our future prosperity.
Winners of the Grant Thornton Quoted Company Awards go on to big things. The 2016 IPO of the year, Fever-Tree Drinks, is now valued at almost £2 billion and has seen its shares rise 160 per cent since winning this accolade. Its successor in the 2017 Awards was Blue Prism, whose shares have risen a further 90 per cent in the three months following its win.
