In any society the presence of highly successful people able to create and exercise a wealth of power and influence is a fundamental necessity. These individuals and their organisations are leaders, able to steer opinion and action towards the most positive possible outcomes in economic, social, or cultural contexts. They are the men, women and organisations who, either through position or personality, exercise a significant power that influences events and sets parameters in the conduct of their organisation, the climate of political debate and the shaping of new ideas both within their sector and on the national and international stage. These are Britains most inspirational individuals and organisations.

Britain will need to develop a new mindset towards its place on the global stage, not only through trade, but through our relationships and networks in all parts of the world. The British Parliamentary Awards in conjunction with Power 100 will bring together our greatest and highest achieving individuals and organisations and utilise their networks and scale of influence to promote British excellence and achievement as part of a new global campaign.
