Informa: one of Britain’s Most Admired Companies
Informa has received two gold awards in the 2025 Britain’s Most Admired Companies study.
Britain’s Most Admired Companies is the UK’s longest-running and only peer-reviewed corporate reputation study.
Now in its 36th year, it surveys corporate leaders, analysts and industry commentators about 260 of Britain’s leading companies on criteria including quality of products and services, capacity to innovate, clarity of strategy, long-term value potential and positive contribution to society.
Informa topped the Media sector with a gold award and also won a gold award in the Quality of Products & Services cross-sector category.
The Group was awarded silver in the Effective Corporate Governance category and was ranked fourth in the overall Top Ten Most Admired list.
Stephen A. Carter, Group Chief Executive, Informa, comments:
‘‘The Most Admired Company Awards are a fantastic thank you to the thousands of Informa colleagues who every day, in the 30+ countries we work and operate in, focus on delivering our best for customers and working with creativity and real ambition.
‘What a fantastic way to start 2026 and here’s to keeping up the momentum this year.’

It highlights the breadth of Informa’s reputation and its standing as a high-quality, well-governed business delivering long-term value.’
