英国会计师与簿记师协会（Institute of Accountants and Bookkeepers，简称 IAB）非常荣幸能够与汇丰银行（HSBC）共同担任伦敦工商会（London Chamber of Commerce and Industry，简称 LCCI）2027 年伦敦中小企业商业大奖的首席赞助商。作为 LCCI 的教育合作伙伴，此次赞助体现了双方长期以来建立在共同承诺基础上的紧密合作关系，即培养专业技能、支持企业发展，并共同推动商业卓越。
支持中小型企业——英国经济的重要支柱——一直是伦敦工商会使命的核心。伦敦中小企业商业大奖旨在表彰这些企业所展现的雄心、创新精神与韧性，并肯定它们为伦敦经济增长所作出的贡献。IAB 非常荣幸受邀成为仅有的两家首席赞助商之一，并与汇丰银行共同担任这一重要角色。这充分体现了我们与 LCCI 之间的紧密关系，以及双方共同推动商业卓越的坚定承诺。
 
本届大奖已于威斯敏斯特教堂花园举行的一场高规格招待会上正式启动，众多资深商业领袖、赞助商及合作伙伴出席了活动。活动由伦敦工商会首席执行官 Karim Fatehi OBE 先生主持，伦敦市长萨迪克·汗爵士（Sir Sadiq Khan）亦出席现场，充分彰显了该奖项对伦敦蓬勃发展的商业社群所具有的重要意义。
在整个评选过程中，IAB 将积极参与多个奖项类别的评审工作，表彰那些在领导力、创新、韧性及可持续增长方面表现卓越的企业。整个项目将于 2027 年 2 月 25 日举行一场隆重的黑领结颁奖典礼，并于当晚正式公布各奖项得主。
 
对 IAB 而言，这一合作远远不只是一次赞助。它体现了我们与 LCCI 之间的紧密关系，以及双方共同坚信：教育、专业标准与企业精神，是打造更强大企业、创造更多机会，并推动英国乃至全球长期经济繁荣的根本基础。

The Institute of Accountants and Bookkeepers (IAB) is proud to be a Headline Sponsor, alongside HSBC, of the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) SME London Business Awards 2027. As the Education Partner of LCCI, the sponsorship reflects a longstanding relationship built on a shared commitment to developing skills, supporting enterprise and championing business excellence.
 
Supporting small and medium sized enterprises, the backbone of the British economy, is central to the London Chamber's mission. The SME London Business Awards recognise the ambition, innovation and resilience of these businesses, celebrating their contribution to economic growth across the capital. IAB is honoured to have been invited to serve as one of only two Headline Sponsors, alongside HSBC, reflecting our close relationship with LCCI and our shared commitment to championing business excellence.
 
The awards were officially launched at a prestigious reception in Westminster Abbey Gardens, attended by senior business leaders, sponsors and partners. The event was led by Karim Fatehi OBE, Chief Executive of the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry, alongside the Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, underlining the importance of the awards to London's thriving business community.
 
Throughout the programme, IAB will play an active role in judging several award categories, recognising businesses that demonstrate exceptional leadership, innovation, resilience and sustainable growth. The programme will culminate in a prestigious black tie awards ceremony on 25 February 2027, where the winners will be announced.
 
For IAB, this partnership represents far more than sponsorship. It reflects our close relationship with LCCI and our shared belief that education, professional standards and enterprise are fundamental to building stronger businesses, creating opportunities and supporting long term economic prosperity in the UK and around the world.
