Vision 2024: Leaders Driving Growth
The BVCA’s Vision initiative, in partnership with Grant Thornton and Santander, continues to highlight the best management teams backed by private capital across the whole of the United Kingdom.
This year to recognise the incredible ways that our members support and work with their portfolios to create value, we are also celebrating the GPs who backed the winning businesses.
Despite continued economic uncertainties in 2023, the firms that have been awarded this year showed adaptability and with our members’ support delivered growth. The strength of this year’s nominations shows in the fact that in total we have recognised 17 companies. Four of these companies have been awarded as National Winners.
Having strong case studies to demonstrate our members’ economic, social and public contribution to the UK is crucial to our work in representing the UK’s private capital industry. With a change of government in 2024, the ability to showcase these success stories has never been more vital.
Our aim for 2025 is to build Vision further. We will be increasing the number of National Dinners and the number of awards. We will also be running half-day conferences on the same day as the National Dinners, engaging with the industry’s external stakeholders. Look out for the launch of Vision 2025 coming soon, which will announce full details of our plans, and will highlight ways that you can get involved.
We could not run these awards without our longstanding headline sponsor Grant Thornton, who have been closely working together with us for many years, as the initiative has evolved. This year our partnership was strengthened by Santander, who joined as a supporting sponsor. We are incredibly grateful for the dedication and support received by both Grant Thornton and Santander this year and look forward to our continued collaboration in the future.
And finally, I would like to thank our members, who provide us with these excellent case studies, which allow us to showcase to our external stakeholders that this industry is a true partner for growth.
