Leicestershire’s Top 200 Companies
For years, Smith Brothers has been featured in the Leicestershire’s Top 200 Companies, released by the Leicester Mercury, this year on 20th June 2017. The data for the top 200 companies is collected by De Montfort University’s Business Division who are located at the Hugh Aston Business and Law building in Leicester. In 2016 we were listed at 74 and now fine ourselves at 61 in 2017, the growth of 13 places offers some tangiable results for our hard working staff. The listings are based on business turnover which DMU access via Company’s House.
The Top 200 list is released annually by the Leicester Mercury and produced by a team of academics and lecturers from De Montfort University, with it being sponsored by Berkeley insurance group. This ranks businesses by turnover that are active, and who are not dormant, or in receivership. The total turnover is made up from data held at company’s house. Depending when companies publish their financial statements depends on the accuracy of the data.
In 2016, we announced the opening of three branches that include Heathrow, Cardiff, and Merseyside to service even more areas. These branches brought the number of branches up to 12, over two countries. This means that we are now adventuring into another country, which would hopefully reach our goal to become national merchants in the future.
2016 was a big year for the company, as we also invested in larger premises for the Leicester and Bristol branches, along with relocating our Head Office. Previously, both Leicester and Head Office were operating from the same premises since the relocation in 1902.
As the figures are always slightly behind the publication date but we are expecting another good performance in the Top 200 next year, hopefully with greater growth and higher placed rankings!!
