We are delighted to announce that Next 15 won the Corporate Governance Award at the AIM Awards 2023!

The panel said: "Next 15 has been working on improving its governance, in addition to its environmental and social focus, for several years. In March last year, the group added two new Directors to the Board in order to provide a greater breadth of experience, particularly in the US market. The Board composition is now 50% female and, as of January this year, meets all diversity targets. The group’s established ESG committee has set up an internal ethics committee to carry out annual Equity, Diversity and Integrity Audits."

Next 15 was also shortlisted for the Investor Communication and the Diversity Champion awards.
