Recognising the business leaders shaping the year ahead.
Business Quarter’s Leaders Guide returns for 2027: an annual special report profiling the top executives driving change across the UK, Europe, and global markets. From bold corporate transformations to new models of growth, we’re seeking the leaders defining how business will be done in the year ahead.
Entries are free and open to founders, CEOs, and senior executives who have achieved measurable progress over the past 12 months and can clearly articulate their priorities for 2027.
All included leaders will receive exclusive benefits — including a content package worth £750, discounted advertising packages and entry fees for the Modern Enterprise Awards. The leaders that make the list will also receive a complimentary editorial feature in the year ahead.
