Nice one, centurions!

Every year, we celebrate 100 of the people who are leading the industry right now. We’re not talking about work and projects – we’ll be recognising those at the BIMA Awards in September. We’re talking about the leaders, pioneers, entrepreneurs and changemakers – the people we look up to. And this year, you’ll see when you meet our 100, how special they are.

We’re also delighted to announce our two latest inductees to the BIMA Hall of Fame. Think of it as our ‘Lifetime Achievement’ Awards – and this year’s recipients are as influential as any we’ve ever had.

Here, then, are your BIMA 100 and Hall of Fame inductees for 2019. Congratulations to them all.
