|
A few key take aways …
• Intel Corporation ( UK ) Ltd hold on to the top spot , increasing profits by 149 per cent , despite being two per cent down in revenue .
• RWE Generation see a 260 per cent increase in profits despite being five per cent down in revenue .
• This is the last time Honda will appear in the list as the firm have now closed the Swindon car plant .
|
• Swindon is still by far the most economically active town or city in Wiltshire with eight out of the top ten companies based there .
• The second most prosperous town in the list is Chippenham , followed by Devizes and Trowbridge .
• Salisbury our only city has six companies in the top 100 . Paddy Bradley , CEO of the
Swindon and Wiltshire Local Enterprise Partnership , said , “ Congratulations to all the
|
businesses listed in The Business Exchange Top 100 for 2021 . The turnover and profit figures show the market at work when the country faces a health and economic crisis . These businesses have done themselves and our area proud as the conditions they have been operating in have been extraordinarily challenging . Around a half of the Top 100 increased their turnover in this last year , with slightly less marking an increase in profits . A number of businesses , |
whilst not recording a profit at least reduced their losses . The list is an illustration of the breadth and depth of the sectors represented by these businesses . That diversity of our area ’ s business base helps build our resilience to economic shocks and enables the area to bounce back . We have quite a gap in turnover between number 1 and 100 on the list , but that mix of established performer and rising star gives our area its vibrant and resilient economy .” |
