We’re thrilled to be shortlisted for ‘The Growth Investor of the Year’ at the Growth Investor Awards 2022. Forward listed on the London Stock Exchange in July 2021, so to have our efforts over the last 12 months recognised as a finalist is fantastic and a true testament to our team’s hard work. It’s also wonderful to see so many of our peers being recognised for their contributions to our ecosystem and the wider UK startup sector.
