NORTHWEST FIRMS PERFORM STRONGLY ON NATIONAL
TECHNOLOGY LEAGUE TABLE
Ghekko appears in this year’s list of technology companies in the Northwest, and is ranked No 43 in Britain, according to the latest Sunday Times Microsoft TechTrack 100 league table published this weekend.
Now in its seventh year, the annual league table ranks Britain’s one hundred fastestgrowing, private technology companies by their sales growth over a two-year period, according to their latest available accounts. The majority (75) of companies on the table
were in profit. Seven businesses in the region (compared with 11 last year) have won places on this year’s listing. Each of these companies has made a substantial contribution to the local economy. Together they employ 878 staff and have racked up combined sales of £84m.
The National Picture
The combined sales of the one hundred companies listed on The Sunday Times Microsoft Tech Track 100 totalled £1.2bn, according to their latest available accounts. Together they employed 8,282 staff in 2006/7, and have each hired an average of 22 staff in their latest financial year.
The full findings were published in a special 16-page colour supplement with The Sunday Times business section on 30 September and on the internet at www.fasttrack.co.uk.
