CVS has been named 'Company of the Year' in the 2015 AIM Awards, which showcase outstanding achievement among companies listed on the AIM Exchange. Winners of all 11 AIM Awards, including CVS, were announced at a dinner in London on Thursday 8 October 2015, sponsored by financial advisors PwC. CVS is the UK's fastest growing veterinary practice, owning 116 practices across 322 sites in the UK. It has just invested more than £4.3 million to create one of the country's most advanced, multi-disciplinary specialist veterinary hospitals - Lumbry Park Veterinary Specialists in Alton, Hampshire - and is building its presence in the mixed and equine sectors.
David Snell, Partner and AIM Leader at PwC and chair of the AIM Awards Voting Panel, commented: "The Company of the Year award is the ultimate accolade for any AIM company. Members of the Voting Panel were looking for a responsible, fully accountable, dynamic business with strong growth prospects and, in CVS, they found exactly that."
Ian Restall, Chairman of Flathill Communications Group plc and the Founder and Executive Producer of the AIM Awards, added: "Throughout the 20 years of AIM Awards, members of the Voting Panel have debated and discussed the credentials of thousands of nominees. In that time, very few of them bear comparison with this year’s winner, CVS, which occupies a unique position in its market and continues to create significant long term shareholder value."
Simon Innes, Chief Executive of CVS, said: "2015 has been another exciting year for CVS as we continue to grow strongly. Our growth is creating new opportunities for all of our staff to develop their careers and is enabling us to invest more in the latest technology and equipment. These investments, in turn, yield dividends in terms of the increasing quality of care we are providing to our clients' pets - and it is their hard-earned loyalty to their veterinary team which is the cornerstone of our business.
"We are delighted to receive this Award and thank the judging panel for this vote of confidence in our business strategy."
Key to its success is CVS' ability to attract ambitious veterinary staff whilst continuing to invest in the development of their clinical skills and in research to drive the profession forward. It also provides the business support to ensure its diverse range of small animal, large animal and equine practices achieve their full potential. CVS' guiding principles include a commitment to excellence in all aspects of its work and a focus on building long-term relationships with its customers and suppliers. The company works in close partnership with the wider veterinary profession and industry colleagues.
