Judges last night at the Corporate & Financial Awards, hosted and produced by Communicate magazine, praised the quality of the entries and the way that companies had thought about their audiences, adapting their style and format to meet differing needs. The industry favourite 'Corporate & Financial' awards - #CFAwards - benchmark communications in the corporate and financial space, an area of business that continues to grow in standard year on year.    

Held at the Brewery, in central London, the 2017 event welcomed delegates from a variety of companies and agencies representing the organisations competing for best practice in corporate communications. Andrew Thomas, publishing editor of Communicate magazine, said: “The quality of the 2017 shortlist and winners meant the competition stepped up another gear from previous years...Nearly 50% of the FTSE 100 entered this year’s Corporate & Financial Awards highlighting how important financial media relations and corporate communications are to the City and its influencers.”

Inchcape Plc captured the gold this year for ‘Best Corporate Website of the FTSE 250’. Black Sun’s Director of Digital Technology, Mirko Savarese says:

“The Black Sun team is immensely proud of the work Inchcape Plc has done this past year around the corporate website. Engaging a wider group of stakeholders, along with easy navigation and interactive content has been the hallmark of the development on the website. Illuminating key areas of engagement, from the Who We Are section highlighting strategy as well as the heritage of the organisation, to the Investors & Media section, allowing investors to capture accessible important information such as the annual report and the investment proposition has evolved the website experience. We look forward to continuing our valued relationship with the team at Inchcape.”
