Lily & Piper Limited Press Release: London, UK Small Cap Awards 2018 NOMINATIONS ANNOUNCEMENT The Small Cap Awards is a once-a-year opportunity to recognise outstanding achievement focused on smaller quoted companies. The Awards ceremony, which this year will take place on 14 June at the Montcalm Hotel in Central London, shines a light on the best companies and participants in the small and micro-cap community (sub £100m market capitalisation) across ten categories. Since it started in mid-2012, the Small Cap Club has successfully enabled leaders and participants in the micro-cap sector to regularly meet together, based on the premise that meeting people builds trust and creates new areas of thinking and opportunity and the regular networking events have gone from strength to strength. This year the Small Cap Awards is delighted to have secured headline sponsorship for a fourth year from Nex Exchange (formerly ISDX), a London based stock exchange providing UK and international companies with access to European capital through a range of fully listed and growth markets. In addition, the event is co-sponsored by the highly respected commercial law firm Hamlins LLP; the Top 15 national audit and accountancy firm UHY Hacker Young; global leader in all aspects of digital corporate communications EQS Group; and the first new provider of CREST registry services in over 20 years, Avenir Registrars. This year the Impact Company of the Year award is sponsored by the Impact Investment Network. The awards are organised by London event and network agency Lily & Piper. The nominations have been selected by a judging panel comprised of leaders in the Small Cap sector and is Chaired by Claire Noyce, Managing Partner at Hybridan LLP.
