2021: Our Year in Numbers

25/01/2022

2021 proved to be another strong year for B&C, in which we retained our ranking as the #1 Financial Printer (source: UKLA) for the period 2018-2021 ranked by number of Main Market & larger AIM IPOs, deal size and pagination cumulatively. The number of deal documents we produced in 2021 also rose to 1,340.

In possibly the largest ever series of mailings by a financial printer, we personalised, printed & mailed some 10.6 million copies of various documents across four mailings of 2-3 million each, on behalf of Provident Financial.

Our digital platforms continued to grow and saw a ‘world first’ with the first international covered bond by an Icelandic issuer, Arion Bank, which used iRoadshow to reach its investor base; while IPO Research Online was used for the mammoth IPO of Universal Music Group on Euronext Amsterdam.

Our Corporate Reporting arm remained consistently strong too, with 83 titles encompassing Annual & Interim, Sustainability and ESG Reports.

In line with the above metrics, we also saw continued increases in the number of issuers appointing us to one or more ‘bundled services', from iRoadshow through IPORO and Prospectuses to Corporate Reporting; and especially in the realm of VDR and financial printing, such as the largest IPO in Europe for more than two years, InPost, on which we assisted along with our VDR partner Intralinks.
