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
