The investor relations (IR) activities of Daily Mail and General Trust (DMGT), including the global media and communications group’s corporate website, have been nominated for a prestigious IR award.

DMGT’s corporate website www.dmgt.co.uk - designed, built and hosted by Group digital agency Front of Mind - has been nominated in the ‘Best IR website for investors’ category at the 2008 Thomson Reuters Extel Survey and IR Society Grand Prix.

“We're delighted to be recognised for the work we do in this important area,” explained Fran Sallas, DMGT’s assistant company secretary. “The corporate website has been pivotal to the ongoing success of our communications with investors.”

Graham Lovelace, managing director at Front of Mind, said: “As an agency we place a high emphasis on accessibility and usability, and that, combined with timely and dynamic communications with investors explains the success of DMGT’s site.”

The Thomson Reuters Extel UK Investor Relations Survey, the most rigorous examination of the effectiveness of companies’ investor relations activities, was conducted over the period September 8-30 and reflects the response of over 300 analysts.
