Launch of the TV 250 listing for 2022
The TV 250 is an annual listing that celebrates the top independent, privately-owned business in the Thames Valley region, listed by annual sales turnover.
The listing is compiled by The Business Magazine and sponsored by law firm Gateley Legal, accountants and business advisory firm BDO, office design specialists Morgan Lovell, business sale consultants EvolutionCBS and insurance and benefits brokers Verlingue.
With the region being renowned for its influence in the technology industry, it’s very fitting for the listing’s number one spot to be held by a leading IT products supplier. Based in Theale, Westcoast has been distributing top brands for nearly forty years. Having recently seen sharp rises in its revenues, it is now the largest privately-owned business in the Thames Valley area.
The second spot is held by Maidenhead-based metal traders Ocean Partners – a business that works closely with its global partners to offer customised risk management and link its clients to ‘unique market opportunities’.
Thames Water Utilities is next on the listing. Headquartered in Reading, it prides itself on being ‘passionate about protecting our most precious resource’; important work adequately reflected by an impressive turnover.
These companies along with all that have made the listing will be celebrated at a private dinner and award ceremony held at Easthamptstead House in May.
