Meet the Sponsors: KBC Bank

KBC is a leading integrated bank-insurance group, providing services to retail, private banking, SME, and mid-cap clients. With a strong presence in Belgium, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Bulgaria, KBC combines banking and insurance under one roof, helping clients both to realise and protect their dreams and projects. Their mission is clear: to be the reference for bank-insurance in all their core markets.

KBC has a longstanding connection to the UK and the Belgian-Luxembourg business community. Through its London office, KBC’s UK Branch supports the cross-border banking needs of corporate clients, from Belgian groups expanding abroad to UK companies trading and investing in Belgium. Throughout the years, the BLCC has worked closely with KBC to support the expansion of Belgian and Luxembourg companies. This highlights their role as a vital bridge between the Belgian-Luxembourg business world and the UK market.

For 25 years, KBC has proudly sponsored the Golden Bridge Awards. From the very beginning, KBC has played a key role in recognising companies that succeed across borders. The Awards provide a platform to celebrate growing businesses, and KBC has consistently supported organisations of all sizes in achieving international growth.

More recently, KBC has extended its support to ESG-focused awards, shining a spotlight on companies’ environmental, social, and governance contributions, reflecting the bank’s commitment to sustainable business practices.

“Being part of the Golden Bridge Awards allows us to celebrate the success of companies that embody innovation, international growth, and sustainability. It is a privilege to support these businesses and to contribute to the strong ties between Belgium, Luxembourg, and the UK,”

says Jason Pratt, Head of Corporate Banking.

KBC’s enduring involvement with the Golden Bridge Awards illustrates its commitment to international business excellence. The Awards’ milestone of 25 years would not have been possible without KBC’s continued support and partnership.
