The awards will be celebrated with a gala dinner at the prestigious London Hilton Park Lane, on the evening of November 24^th.

Commenting on the Growth Investor Awards ’22, Guy Tolhurst, Managing Director of Intelligent Partnership, said:

That’s why we wanted to expand the Growth Investor Awards this year, ensuring that there is even more opportunity to get the recognition they deserve. Our categories are always competitive, but this year has exceeded all expectations.”
