Awards and nominations
LB’s September shortlistings to celebrate
“Awards aren’t just a ‘nice-to-have’ – they help us keep pace with trends in design, regulation and disclosure, and push our creative thinking.”
As September draws to a close, we can safely say it’s been another busy and rewarding year so far at LB – and awards season is shaping up nicely!
We’re very pleased to have secured two shortlistings at the CGI UK Awards this year with two of our super unlisted clients – Zopa Bank and OCU Group Ltd. As private companies, they’re up in the ‘Annual Reports – Other’ category. We never let the fact they’re private reduce standards in disclosure or design, and always benchmark our clients against the best-in-class to ensure highest standards in communication. It’s great to see these reports recognised – rubbing shoulders with some big names like easyJet, Tesco and Trustpilot elsewhere on the shortlists!
On top of that, Foresight Enterprise VCT has been shortlisted for the Best Report & Accounts – VCT at the AIC Shareholder Communication Awards 2025.
We’re also cheering on three more of our clients who’ve been shortlisted for the Best ESG Communication Award: SDCL Energy Efficiency Income Trust (SEIT), Foresight Environmental Infrastructure (FGEN) and Sequoia Economic Infrastructure Income Trust (SEQI). It’s great to see strong ESG storytelling and transparent reporting getting the attention it deserves.
The AIC Awards are all about celebrating clear, thoughtful communication with shareholders, which is something we always aim for at LB – so we’re especially proud to see four of our clients recognised this year.
Awards aren’t just a ‘nice-to-have’ – they help us keep pace with trends in design, regulation and disclosure, push our creative thinking, and offer another way to champion our clients’ work. Plus, they usually make for a good night out and are a great opportunity to raise a glass out of hours with our clients and hardworking employees!
Next up is the IR Society Best Practice Awards, with shortlists to be announced in mid-October. We’ll be watching closely with our fingers crossed.
And finally, a big shout-out to our newest team member, Robyn Root, Research Analyst, who’s brought fresh energy and insight to our awards entries this year. We’re raising our game – and it’s showing!
