CityAM Editor-in-Chief, Christian May, earlier welcomed guests to the event, hailing the massive contribution businesses make to the UK’s prosperity.

“CityAM turns 20 later this year and these Awards have been going for over a decade, and we take it very seriously. Our Judges take it seriously. 

“And for us it’s a rare moment, all too rare, to bring our world together – and you are all in our world, whether you like it or not – we do our best to understand, explain, explore and write about you – your business, your sector, your competitors, your ups and downs… and tonight is squarely about the ups. 

“You are finalists because you are excellent at what you do – and if you emerge a winner it’s because the judges felt you really stand out.”

CityAM welcomed guests from the worlds of business, politics and the media, including LBC’s Nick Ferrari.

Referring to the government’s quest for economic growth, May said:

“I wish them well in their growth agenda but the truth is, that agenda is personified in this room – by you, your colleagues, your investors, your shareholders, your customers – you’re the ones that will power growth in this country and that’s just one of the many reasons why we’re so pleased to be in your company tonight.”
