Part 2 of BusinessLive’s 2021 list of the biggest companies in Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire
Today we print the second part of our 2021 list of the biggest companies in Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
Part 2 of the East Midlands Top 500 Companies takes the countdown from 350 to 201.
Tomorrow we will be publishing the list from 200 down to 21 and on Thursday, July 1, we will be revealing the 20 biggest companies in the East Midlands at a live webinar event hosted by BusinessLive editor Alistair Houghton.
Tickets for the event are available by clicking here.
This is the second year that we have published the list, which has been put together for us by De Montfort University Professor of Enterprise, Prof David Rae, in a partnership between research teams at the DMU, Derby and Nottingham Trent universities, supported by East Midlands Chamber and Reach Plc.
The list and webinar are sponsored by Leicester-based residential property business Bradgate Estates.
Prof Rae said the Top 500 companies index shows the range and strength of the leading businesses in the East Midlands.
He said: “These businesses are at the heart of the East Midlands economy and are high on the list of those most likely to drive growth and create jobs in the future.
“Their prosperity affects not only the workforces, supply chains and the communities around them, but ultimately everyone in the region.
The first EM Top 500 was launched in May 2020, and was published whilst the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown were having a daily impact on all our lives as well as many of the companies featured.
“The East Midlands Top 500 Companies 2021 appears in a changed economic climate in which the region’s businesses have shown great resilience and are responding to the many new challenges and opportunities they face.
“The EM Top 500 index lists private and public limited companies with their registered offices located in Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire.
“It does not include large employers who have their registered offices elsewhere; nor does it include public organisations, mutually owned, co-operatives and educational trusts which derive most of their income from Government.
“The 2021 index uses historical data from Companies House accounts filed for the period between July 2018 and June 2019.
“It ranks companies by their annual turnover and also includes the number of employees and the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) recorded. This is accessed via the FAME database published by Bureau van Dijk. The approach builds on the county-level ‘Top 200’ indices for each county.
“Because the index is based on company accounts, it inevitably lags current company performance by around two years, since companies have up to nine months after their year-end to file their accounts.
“The datasets for the county-level indices were compiled first, checked, standardised and then combined into the East Midlands dataset.
“There are rigorous checks to eliminate duplicates, to remove companies which have become insolvent or in liquidation, and to ensure that groups of companies and subsidiaries are shown accurately.
“The gap between the company year-ends and publication of the index means the information is historic rather than current, but it is not ‘out of date’.
“The first EM top 500 published in 2020 means that comparisons are now possible. The index is becoming a valuable baseline for economic recovery from the pandemic and for assessing the resilience of businesses and the wider economy.”
