Head of IR at UK digital transformation firm reflects on a career that started in marketing and communications
When the small-cap UK firm TPXimpact cropped up on the shortlists ahead of the IR Impact Awards – Europe 2025, it was a name unfamiliar to many of the judges – and perhaps many other onlookers. The company, which enables digital transformation projects for a range of organizations, including public sector bodies in the UK, may not be well-known in general, but Luke Murphy, head of IR and chief of staff, was among the names for the rising star award. The company’s annual and ESG reporting were also nominated.
Murphy eventually picked up the trophy for best ESG reporting (small cap) on the night, marking the first IR Impact award for the company.
Below, he tells us more about the journey from TPXimpact’s 2018 IPO to today, what he sees as the hallmarks of best-in-class ESG reporting and why he sees parallels between cooking good food and conducting good IR.
