Celebrate our 20th Anniversary with us
10th February 2012
2012 is our 20th year and we will be celebrating this anniversary and our achievements so far with some great events throughout the year, more campaigning work, new guides and more.
We have a number of new and continued campaigns for 2012, including capital gains tax reform, non-bank lending and debt markets, the QCA/BDO Small and Mid-Cap Sentiment Index and more. Our committees will be as active as ever and we want you to feed into our work. So let us know if there is any other issue you'd like us to follow and work on.
We are publishing a new Remuneration Committee Guide for Smaller Quoted Companies at the end of February 2012. We are also planning to revise some of our current guides and publish some new ones, all to help you run your business better.
Finally, we are running our flagship Annual Dinner as ever, which will be taking place at the newly renovated and iconic Savoy Hotel on Wednesday 12 September 2012.
We will also be holding special celebratory events, including:
-
The Founders' Reception - reuniting the founding members of the Quoted Companies Alliance with current members to celebrate 20 years of success.
- An inaugural conference - Engineering Growth for Small and Mid-Cap Companies - taking place on Wednesday 27 June 2012 and focusing on the small and mid-cap sector.
We will be announcing more details of all this soon and look forward to celebrating 20 years with you.
