Napier AI, the London-based financial crime compliance RegTech firm, has been recognised as one of ten top-performing private businesses in the UK’s 2025 Best Managed Companies awards.
The UK’s Best Managed Companies programme shines a spotlight on private businesses from across the UK and the performance that drives them. The programme is an initiative of Deloitte Private, which provides personalised solutions to privately owned businesses and family enterprises.
This is the inaugural year of the UK’s Best Managed Companies awards, with the programme already established in over 45 territories across the world. It recognises top private companies for their organisational success and contributions to their industry and the economy.
The programme highlights the role of private companies as key innovators and major contributors to the UK’s economic growth. Independent judges assessed applicants based on four critical pillars: strategy, culture and commitment, capabilities and innovation, and governance and financial performance.
Greg Watson commented: “We are thrilled to be recognised as one of the UK’s top managed private companies.”
“Napier AI is proud to have our innovation and compliance-first AI principle, grounded on transparency, regulatory and customer engagement, acknowledged by Deloitte Private and the Best Managed Companies judges in this way.”
Claire Evans, Deloitte Private partner and UK Best Managed Companies leader, said: “The Best Managed Companies programme celebrates the passion, resilience, and focus on sustainable growth that are hallmarks of the UK’s leading private businesses.
“These businesses are purpose-driven, disciplined, and industry-leading. They are confidently navigating the future and setting an inspiring standard for success among private businesses in the UK.”
