Nominations for these awards are taken from the public, whittled down to shortlists of four companies per category by a panel of fund managers, brokers and other City Professionals. The winners for the awards are then chosen via a 50-50split between public vote and the panel’s views. The Company of the Year award is the most prestigious award of the program.
