Curated and compiled by Robert Watts, the renowned compiler of The Sunday Times Rich List, the list is the result of a rigorous, data-driven process. There were no self-nominations, no paid sponsorships, and no private data submissions — ensuring the rankings are entirely independent and outcome-based. Revenue growth was calculated using publicly available financial data filed at Companies House, with each company’s performance assessed using multiple validation methods. The selection criteria included all UK businesses with an annual turnover above a defined threshold with no upper limit allowing high-growth enterprises of all scales to compete on equal footing.
Bringing together business leaders and founders from all corners of the UK, the Business Leader Growth500 Awards was held at the Sky Garden. The building is nicknamed by many as the “Walkie Talkie” tower. The celebration was a night of inspiration and celebration of the UK’s most vibrant businesses.
The idea to prepare such a list was initiated by Business Leader, a peer-to-peer business media and membership community, as part of its commitment to supporting mid-sized businesses to scale up in a tough economic climate. From NatWest to PwC, Growth500 was named in honor of how companies of all shapes and sizes, from green energy businesses to tech startups, are “actively pursuing scale, even in tougher conditions”.
