2002.
BEST
COMMUNICATION
Sponsored by S J Berwin
The winner of the Best Communication award will
possess much more than a well produced set of accounts. The winning
company will have demonstrated that it is able to communicate effectively
with all levels of shareholders and potential shareholders, being
consistent in its approach and presentations and maintaining regular
contact with its shareholders.
BEST
USE OF AIM
Sponsored by Winterflood Securities
Limited
The winner of this award will be a company that
regards its arrival on AIM as the beginning of a journey rather
than a destination in itself. The winning company will probably
have raised money initially from a wide spread of institutional
and private investors and may well have undertaken further fund
raisings to accelerate its growth.
BEST
TECHNOLOGY
Sponsored by John East and Partners
Limited
The winner of this award will be a company which
reflects the innovation and entrepreneurial skills that are the
cornerstone of the AIM culture. The technology concerned does not
have to have been proven. Obviously this is, potentially, a high
risk award, given the innovative nature of the subject matter, and
the Voting Panel will be aware of, and make allowances for, this
fact.
BEST
RESEARCH
Sponsored by Brewin Dolphin Securities
The winner of this award could be an individual,
a team or a department, a publication, a columnist or a contributor
who has, quite simply, brought AIM to life. Providing the oxygen
and creating interest in a market of over 500 diverse small and
medium sized companies will be the analysts, brokers, journalists
and contributors who provide detailed investment commentary; the
winner of this award will be recognisable for his or her contribution
in increasing the profile of AIM.
BEST
NEWCOMER
Sponsored by Singer &
Friedlander Investment Management Limited
The winner of this award would quite simply be
a strong contender for Company of the Year were it not due to the
lack of a public company track record. Arriving on AIM between 1
August 2001 and 31 July 2002, the winner will already have caught
the imagination of investors. (See list of eligible companies on
page 2).
ENTREPRENEUR
OF THE YEAR
Sponsored by Withers
AIM is a market tailor-made for entrepreneurs,
and therefore voters should be spoilt for choice. The winner of
this award will be an entrepreneur who has demonstrated the vision,
flair, drive and business acumen to take his or her business forward,
via an AIM listing, at a pace impossible without access to Stock
Exchange funding. The winner will also have recognised that behind
every successful entrepreneur is an established management team
that will help him or her deal with the demands of public company
life.
COMPANY
OF THE YEAR
Sponsored by Close Investment
Limited
The ultimate accolade for any AIM company is
the Company of the Year award. The Company of the Year will have
demonstrated to its new shareholders that it is a responsible, fully
accountable, dynamic business with strong growth prospects and a
commitment to AIM. The Company of the Year’s growth potential
will be excellent, but these prospects will not necessarily have
manifested themselves in results announced to date. Above all, the
winner will be a serious, well managed business, having attracted
public funding to enhance and develop its growth potential to the
full.
