The 2021 East Midlands Top 500 Companies list: Part 1

Today we launch our 2021 countdown to the Top 500 Business in the East Midlands. Over the next four days BusinessLive will be listing the biggest companies by revenue in Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. This is the second year of our Top 500 list which has been painstakingly put together by Professor of Enterprise Prof David Rae at De Montfort University in a partnership between research teams at the De Montfort, Derby and Nottingham Trent universities, East Midlands Chamber and Reach Plc.

The list is being sponsored by Leicester-based, family-owned residential property company Bradgate Estates. The actual list has taken months to compile and uses publicly reported trading figures – many published pre-Covid. It gives an idea of the range and strength of firms across the three counties covered by East Midlands Chamber – many of them household names – which support tens of thousands of jobs and pump billions of pounds into the regional and national economy.

Of course, many of the businesses will have seen big changes in turnover and employee numbers since the start of the pandemic in 2020. Those figures are not reflected in this list, but will begin to filter through as accounts are filed over the coming months. Over the course of the week starting today, June 28, Business Live is publishing the index in stages, counting down to the top 20, which will be revealed on Thursday, July 1, during a live webinar which we will be hosting from 2pm.

Book tickets for our Top 500 webinar by clicking here. An impressive panel has been organised to discuss this year’s findings and what they will mean for entrepreneurs, start-ups, small and medium businesses as well as larger companies in the East Midlands, and their future growth. Hosted by BusinessLive editor Alistair Houghton, the panel will be made up of De Montfort’s Prof Rae; John Quigley, a former MD of Leicester-based luxury car dealership Sytner cars which was number two in last year’s list; Judy Naake MBE, founder of the St Tropez self-tanning business; Anthony Parker, financial director Bradgate Estates and Top 500 2021 sponsor; and Scott Knowles, chief executive East Midlands Chamber.

To join the East Midlands Top 500 2021 online roundtable event on Thursday, July 1, click here and order your ticket. Anthony Parker of Bradgate Estates said the three universities involved in putting together the list were themselves creating business leaders of tomorrow. He said: “This is our way of encouraging inter-regional and company dialogue, and closing the gaps between the region’s businesses with our excellent academic sector, local councils, and the East Midlands Chamber of Commerce to enhance the economic prospects for all in the region.

“I encourage our local companies to host more of our local university and business school graduates to capitalise on the knowledge and skills they can offer.” Chamber chief executive Scott Knowles said the East Midlands Top 500 showcased the huge contribution the region makes to UK PLC, and showed the strength and depth of its business community. He said: “After a year and a half that has presented unprecedented challenges for businesses across a whole host of sectors, it’s vitally important to take stock and celebrate success.

“We’re lucky to have so many great businesses on our doorstep, packed with household brands and many others less well-known but who are titans of their industries. “The East Midlands is the engine room of the UK’s economy – a manufacturing powerhouse, a hotbed of innovation, and a logistics hub that can put the region at the centre of Britain’s post-Brexit global trading relationships. “None of this has changed as a result of the pandemic, so it’s more crucial than ever to shout about what we’ve got with a united voice – because we have an amazing story to tell.

“It’s the second listing of its kind and while many of the top positions remain stable, it’s interesting to observe which companies have climbed the table and those that have fallen. “While eyes will initially doubt be drawn to the high-profile businesses, looking down the list makes it clear that there’s a wide variety of smaller companies that make our economy tick. “It also demonstrates the strength of the region’s supply chain in becoming interconnected, and providing much of the employment, skills and innovation the region builds its reputation on.”

Tomorrow we look at the firms who occupy places 350 to 201, but today we publish numbers 500-351:
