The Belvoir franchise giant has scooped a London Stock Exchange award for business, environmental, governance and social issues.

It’s won the Best Investor Communication Award.

The AIM Award was accepted by Belvoir’s chief financial officer Louise George who said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have won this award, having been shortlisted for the past few years, which I think is testimony to the consistency of our approach to investor communication.

“… The Belvoir Group CEO Dorian Gonsalves and I meet regularly with both our institutional and private investors to ensure that they have a clear understanding of our business model and financial performance.  

“We always aim to be open and transparent in responding to all investor questions, which has built up significant trust, and we are delighted to have this hard work recognised.”

The judges said: “Lincolnshire-based Belvoir Group is one of the largest franchised property groups in the UK. The group operates through two divisions: a network of property franchisees; and a network of financial advisers.

“Belvoir is incredibly committed to thorough investor communication, as demonstrated by the six retail investor events attended by the management team in the last year across a number of key communication platforms. 

“Belvoir’s Annual Report demonstrates the Group’s high level of engagement with its stakeholders and its website was considered to be ‘first-class’ by the voting panel judges, with results presentations being promptly posted online.”
