Next Fifteen Communications Group plc (LON: NFC)

We are growth consultants

In August 2021, in the midst of the pandemic, Next 15 turned 40. In an era where many companies
have relatively short lives, we’re quietly proud of that. We took a moment to look back over four
decades and celebrate the people and the work that have made us who we are today.

We have also been looking forward. For this year’s report we have revised our strategy section to
provide a clearer, simpler insight into what we do and who we do it for. We’ve also introduced a new
Environmental, Social and Governance ('ESG') section that brings together our efforts to be good
corporate citizens for our people, the environment and the communities in which we participate.

This improved report demonstrates and supports our purpose to strive constantly to make our people
and our customers the best versions of themselves they can possibly be.

Our values

Our culture is a key component of our success

At the end of the financial year, we formally articulated our values. Whilst Next 15’s values were implicit, management recognised the importance of clearly defined values that inform everything we do. During FY23 these values will be embedded into our processes, including who we hire, who we do business with and how we measure and reward performance.

Our strategy

How we engage with our stakeholders

At Next 15, we are mindful of the necessity to engage with our key stakeholders. We are committed to creating an environment that supports open dialogue for our internal and external stakeholders alike, and we are acutely aware that as we grow, we need to embed more formal frameworks and systems that guide and inform all parties. We have spent time assessing the needs of our stakeholders and in the coming year we will take the actions to continue to engage as required given our structure and growth.
