As the AIM Market celebrated its 30th anniversary, Burson Buchanan had the pleasure of attending the market close ceremony on 19th June, hosted by Marcus Stuttard, Head of AIM, and Julia Hoggett, CEO of the London Stock Exchange.
The occasion was a reminder of the immense success the junior market has achieved since its launch in 1995 – its development into one of the world’s most successful growth markets, the crucial role it has played in encouraging and driving innovation, and most of all, the strength of the capital markets community it nurtures, from investment banks to PRs, lawyers to the companies themselves.
Burson Buchanan has enjoyed a wonderful and enduring 30 years with the AIM Market. As one of the few PRs around at the time of its inception, we are delighted to have been able to celebrate this significant milestone and look forward to the next 30 years!
“It was an honour to join the LSE and so many influential City advisers in celebrating 30 years of the AIM Market. It was a day to champion innovation and remind ourselves of the significant potential for UK capital markets. As one of the few London Financial PR firms to have been around since the AIM market’s inception, Burson Buchanan is proud to have played a significant part in supporting our share of the over 4,000 ambitious companies that have successfully raised £136 billion to date. We’re excited for the next chapter of AIM’s journey, continuing to promote the growth of dynamic businesses and the value in our capital market’s community.”
