The Business Exchange Swindon & Wiltshire Edition 77: Autumn 2025 | Page 42

SWINDON & WILTSHIRE ' S TOP 100 BUSINESSES
The Business Exchange is proud to present Swindon & Wiltshire’ s Top 100 Businesses, ranked by turnover and compiled in partnership with S & P Global Market Intelligence.
This list offers a snapshot of the region’ s economic strength, showcasing businesses that span everything from advanced manufacturing and pharmaceuticals to logistics, finance and retail.
While some firms have faced headwinds, rising costs, shifting demand and global uncertainty, others have posted impressive growth. Companies like Nutricia, MAN Truck & Bus UK, and
Bath ASU have delivered double-digit revenue increases, showing resilience and adaptability in a challenging climate.
Profitability paints a mixed picture. Some businesses have bounced back strongly, while others are navigating tighter margins and strategic shifts. But what’ s clear is the scale of impact these organisations have— creating jobs, driving innovation and anchoring our local economy. From household names like Dyson and Nationwide to rising stars across Wiltshire’ s towns and cities, this list is a celebration of ambition, endurance and entrepreneurial spirit.
Congratulations to everyone featured.
