Thames Valley SME Growth 100 finalists announced

The Thames Valley SME Growth 100 finalists have now been revealed. Based on the 2022 edition of the listing, businesses across diverse sectors have been chosen as finalists based on their growth, leadership and innovation.

This year’s award ceremony is sure to be an exciting one – with more than half of the listing consisting of newcomers, it’s more than likely that we’ll be welcoming some first-time winners. Held at Bremont Manufacturing & Technology Centre, Henley-on-Thames on the 28^th of February, all SMEs on the listing are invited.

Guests will hear the story of Bremont's inception from co-founder Nick English in a relaxed atmosphere with networking drinks and canapés.

The SME Growth listing is compiled by The Business Magazine and sponsored by law firm Herrington Carmichael, commercial property consultants Hicks Baker and audit, tax, advisory and risk firm Crowe UK.

To be included in the listing companies need to be privately-owned and headquartered in the region, with a turnover of no more than £20m, and to have grown their turnover significantly in the past year.
