Eight East Mids companies make it into Sunday Times Grant Thornton Top Track 250
Some eight companies have made it into this weekend’s Sunday Times Grant Thornton Top Track 250 league table, which ranks Britain’s private mid-market growth companies with the biggest sales.
The number is down from 13 last year.
The biggest mid-market growth company in the region is Northampton-based Winvic Construction, which builds commercial and retail space for companies such as Amazon, Debenhams, and Sports Direct. Sales rose 83% in 2016 to £418m, and profits more than doubled to £22m.
The company is one of the three new league table entrants in the East Midlands; the two others are fuel forecourt operator HKS Retail, based in Leicester, and Addo Food Group, based in Nottingham, which produces more than 256m pork pies, quiches and scotch eggs a year. Its sales were £236m last year, up 49%, partly as a result of its acquisition of Kerry Foods’ chilled savoury pastry division in 2014.
Other East Midlands companies listed include Ilkeston-based Belfield Furnishings at 160, IT firm CCS Media of Chesterfield (176), Randall Parker Food Group of Towcester (62) and Wellingborough flour miller Whitworth Bros (82).
Companies are ranked by sales in their latest available accounts.
