Celebrating the Best in BD at the BD100 Awards

May 22, 2026

Wednesday night was one for the books. The BD100, the annual gathering that brings together the very best in business development, returned in style, and as proud partners of the event, we were honoured to have a front-row seat to all the celebrations.

Our Group Director of Content, Branwell Johnson, had the honour of taking to the stage to present the Industry Impact Award to Julian Douglas, Group CEO at VCCP. The award recognised the lasting influence his leadership has had across the sector, and it was a truly well-deserved moment.

But the evening truly belonged to the exceptional talent honoured across every category. From rising stars making their mark to teams rewriting what great new business looks like, this year's winners embody everything that makes the BD community so energising to be part of.
