Bradford District TOP 100 business report to be published

This is a project in partnership with the University of Bradford, Bradford Council and LOCALiQ, publishers of the Telegraph & Argus and Bradford Means Business.

This is a unique report that pulls together specific data for Bradford-based businesses to build up a story of those that are top of their business game.

If you are one of the top 100 businesses, look out for an invitation from the University to attend a special breakfast event on Wednesday, April 17, this is by invitation only.

The data has been interrogated by the University’s School of Management and ranked across several parameters to arrive at the list enclosed in this report.

It is published both as a standalone but also in the Telegraph & Argus to showcase Bradford businesses to everyone in the district as a positive PR story for this fantastic district.

Only those that submit their accounts to Companies House can be measured and we have dozens of very successful companies that operate locally whose accounts are not submitted this way and as such will not appear in the report’s top 100.

Given the importance of those businesses to our local economy, the business team at the Council are selecting 20 notable others for us to detail in the report.

Given the importance of UKREiif (The UK’s Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum) taking place in West Yorkshire in May this year, this year’s report will be on hand to help build confidence in Bradford as a place to do business, as a place to invest and a place to be proud of as a local business doing well.

The report will also be used by the School of Management, the Council business development team and the T&A across the next 12 months to provide a consistent positive narrative for the district, and in 12 months we will run the report again and see what has changed and who is top next year.

Celebrating success is an important part of running a business. It raises your profile, makes staff feel proud and highlights local companies as a good place to work, while reassuring clients they have made the right choices.

Add this report to the Bradford Means Business Awards that are held this July and Bradford business is truly shouting about its successes for all to see. Look out for the report in the T&A in April.
