Berenberg to sponsor IR Society’s DELIVER leadership programme from 2026

Designed to support investor relations professionals build the strategic, leadership, and communication skills required to excel in the fast-evolving capital markets, the DELIVER programme brings together experts and leaders from investment banking to the corporate world with senior investor relation officers (IROs) over the course of six months. Participants benefit from a structured learning journey that combines practical insight, peer exchange, and thought leadership from leading experts.

Holly Gillis, The Investor Relations Society Board Member and Chair of the Education Committee commented, “We are so pleased to welcome Berenberg as the sponsor of DELIVER from 2026 and look forward to collectively developing another successful programme. As a DELIVER alumna myself, I know the next cohort will benefit hugely from the expertise and energy Berenberg will bring to the table. This is a unique development opportunity for IROs, providing incredible access to experts from FTSE leaders to Portfolio Managers through a thoughtfully curated schedule, alongside an engaged network of peers”.

Ben Wright, Co-Head of UK Investment Banking at Berenberg commented, “We are delighted to be partnering with The Investor Relations Society on the DELIVER programme and to support this highly respected initiative for investor relations officers in the UK. We look forward to working together to help investor relations professionals build the strategic, leadership and communication skills needed to excel in today’s evolving capital markets landscape”.

Running biennially since inception in 2013, the 2026 programme is scheduled to commence in January and run through to mid-2026. IROs interested in joining this course should contact
