To be considered for inclusion in the report, companies had to meet a range of criteria. These included being UK based, having a turnover of between £6-250 million in the last 12 months and a minimum of three years in operation. Companies had to demonstrate not only a positive growth in revenue over the last four years, but also an increase in employee numbers, workspace, contract wins or patent filings. The report was compiled and audited by UK company Growth Intelligence.
Marcus Hanke, Chief Executive Officer of 1Spatial said: “I am delighted that 1Spatial has been recognised by the London Stock Exchange as one of the best SMEs in the country. We are a growth business with plenty of opportunities and this kind of recognition really helps us to attract and retain the talent we need. Technology companies like 1Spatial are an important part of the British economy.”
The report examined in detail the opportunities and challenges facing SMEs and looked at the sectors and trends that will shape the future of the UK economy. The UK’s technology sector is in very good health, with 105 tech businesses making the list of 1,000, including 1Spatial.
