BATH’ S TOP 100 BUSINESSES
Bath’ s Top 100 is the ultimate guide to the area’ s most successful businesses. Ranked by turnover from each company’ s most recent results, the TBE Top 100 provides a unique insight into the diversity of Bath’ s business landscape.
Working with S & P Global Market Intelligence the most recent financial data has been interrogated to give you this definitive list. The question for us at The Business Exchange was‘ should we talk about the top 100 businesses in Bath at a time when business has been challenged as never before?’
After some debate we decided we should, even if the economic landscape has changed. We believe we have to celebrate success, while accepting that future figures may be very different, based on this year’ s unprecedented economic challenges.
We must lift one another up and remember how fortunate we are to work in such a diverse business landscape and by working together and supporting each other we will continue to thrive. The key sectors that dominate the table are:
• Energy
• Engineering
• Legal
• Manufacturing
• Motor trade
• Software development
• Property
• Publishing
