Britain's Most Admired Companies reputation risks & opportunities for 2025

21 January 2025

Corporate reputation is never formed in a vacuum. It is always moulded by the wider context in which businesses operate.

So, to top the rankings in Britain’s Most Admired Companies, business leaders have to capitalise on the biggest opportunities to build reputation, and manage the emerging risks to it.

Echo asked the 330 C-suite representatives, analysts and city commentators who took part in the BMAC survey, to identify the biggest risks and opportunities facing British businesses in the year ahead.

The results were then discussed by our CEO panel at the 2024 Britain's Most Admired Companies Awards, hosted by the London Stock Exchange. The panel was moderated by Ian King, Business Presenter at Sky News, and included:

• Phil Bentley, CEO of Mitie
• Roisin Currie, CEO of Greggs
• Rob Perrins, CEO of Berkeley Group
• Andy Ransom, CEO of Rentokil Initial
• Mary Macleod, CEO of Business in the Community
• Charlie Walker, Deputy CEO of the London Stock Exchange.
