BVCA announces regional winners of 2010 Portfolio Company Management Awards
The BVCA is pleased to announce the regional winners of the BVCA Portfolio Company Management (PCM) Awards 2010, the successor to last year's CEO Awards.
Over 1,000 British companies receive private equity and venture capital financing each year and the BVCA PCM Awards 2010 is a celebration of the successes and achievements of the management teams of these companies.
The winners were judged by a panel of industry experts and BVCA representatives in each of the regions - Midlands, Northeast, Northwest, Scotland & Northern Ireland, Southeast (including London & the Channel Islands) and Southwest (including Wales).
For the full list of regional winners please see below, or visit BVCA PCM Awards website for more information. All regional winners are automatically put forward to the national finals that will take place in Central London on the evening of 20 September 2010.
Simon Walker, Chief Executive of the BVCA, said: "Private equity and venture capital-backed management teams are responsible for some of fastest growing and most innovative companies in the UK. Their efforts in these most challenging of economic times is to be applauded and they are all worthy winners."
