The QCA Annual Dinner 2025 was a landmark occasion that brought together individuals from across the UK’s public markets. and served as a powerful platform for the impact of growth companies on the UK economy.
This year’s event was held at the British Museum, starting with a champagne reception in the iconic Egyptian Sculpture Gallery and followed by a three course meal in the stunning Great Court.
The breadth of the financial market community was in attendance including company directors, investors, regulators, politicians, accountants, lawyers and the media. The event provided an invaluable opportunity for networking and strengthening connections within the small and mid-cap sector.
A central theme of the evening was the celebration of the 30th anniversary AIM, a significant milestone for the UK’s public markets.
The evening was hosted by guest presenter, Elma Smit and welcomed on stage: Judith MacKenzie, QCA Chair and Partner at Downing, Julia Hoggett, CEO of the London Stock Exchange and Gareth Davies MP, Shadow Financial Secretary to HM Treasury.
We were also pleased to welcome one of the UK’s most decorated Olympians, Baroness Katherine Grainger, as after-dinner speaker.
Thank you to headline sponsor London Stock Exchange, Champagne Reception Sponsor, Inspired PLC and After-Dinner Reception Sponsor Investor Meet Company / Bookbuild.
All proceeds from the event directly supported the QCA’s ongoing research and advocacy campaigns on behalf of the growth company community.
