We are proud to announce the five organisations shortlisted for the Company of the Year category, sponsored by Bloomberg.

These companies will now be invited to celebrate their shortlisting alongside our sponsors, judges and guests at a celebratory reception sponsored by NewsUK on 6 June 2018.

Judging will now begin to identify the final winner for this category. The winner will be notified by 18 June 2018 and invited to celebrate at the winners party sponsored by The Times and The Sunday Times on w/c 16 July 2018.
