For the second-year running, Stevensons (now The Stevenson Group Limited) has been identified in The London Stock Exchange Group’s ‘1000 Companies to Inspire Britain’ report.
The newly published report recognises the UK’s fastest-growing and most dynamic small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs). It also highlights the regional and sector diversity of the UK’s SMEs and the entrepreneurial spirit shown by these companies.
To make the list, businesses had to demonstrate positive revenue growth over the last three years. They also had to outperform their sector peers. The result is a unique and varied list of the UK’s most dynamic companies. Further details on the Companies to Inspire reports and methodology are available here.
Stevensons is one of only 67 retailers in the seventh edition of the report.
Commenting is The Stevenson Group’s joint managing director, Mark Stevenson. “For the second year running, the Stevensons team has again been recognised for all of the hard work they have put in. Even in this year’s unpredictable and disrupted retail environment, we have continued to adapt and flex our business operations to ensure we are assured of a bright 2021.”
David Schwimmer, CEO, London Stock Exchange Group, says; “This report highlights the vital role of SMEs in driving economic growth, leading innovation and providing jobs across the UK. In this challenging year for businesses, it is more important than ever to shine a light on these stories of resilience and entrepreneurship. The success of UK SMEs is crucial as we rebuild a post-Covid-19 economy.”
“SMEs are the engine room of our economy,” adds the Rt Hon John Glen MP, Economic Secretary to the Treasury. “They have risen to the immense challenges of this year with resilience and ingenuity. We are proud to support them with one of the most generous and comprehensive packages for businesses anywhere in the world.
“It is more important than ever that we champion the companies in this year’s 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain report and many others like them. They are creating jobs, spurring on our economic recovery, and building the industries of the future.”
