Real Business lists fastest growing companies
Grass Roots listed in Real Business Hot 100
20 May 2009
Grass Roots has been included in the Real Business/LDC Hot 100 companies. The list is a ranking of the fastest growing private companies in the UK based on latest accounts filed at Companies House for the period 2005-2008.
The Tring based firm, ranked at no. 86, is one of eight business service companies included in a list packed with construction, engineering and financial services firms. 64% of all companies represented are located in London and the South East.
Chairman and founder, David Evans, commented: “Being recognised for our growth over the last four years is very satisfying and I’m confident we can continue in this vein going forward. We not only have a wonderfully talented group of employees, but a strong financial platform, both of which give our clients great confidence.”
“We have always looked at the long-term perspective of the business rather than making short-term knee-jerk reactions. It will be interesting to see the mix of businesses in next year’s listing.”
Evans was awarded an MBE last year for services in corporate social responsibility. Earlier this year, Grass Roots UK was listed in the Sunday Times top 100 Best Companies to work for, for the third year in succession.
