Central South Mid Market companies key to strong UK economy

This year’s list of the top 20 best performing companies for profit growth in the Central South region has been announced as part of accountancy and business advisory firm BDO LLP’s Central South Mid Market focus.

The twenty companies are Agincare Homes Holdings Limited, Animal Friends Insurance Services Limited, Avon Valley Holdings Limited, Bistech Group PLC, Burry And Knight Limited, Churchill Retirement PLC, Colt Investments Limited, Crayfern Homes Limited, Dextra Group PLC, Drew Smith Limited, Harwin PLC, Holton Homes Limited, Hughes And Salvidge Holdings Limited, Lakesmere Limited, MAT Foundry Group Limited, Natures Way Foods Europe Limited, Pennyfarthing Developments Limited, Portchester Equity Limited, R & M Electrical Group Limited and Sherborne Holdings Limited

“This region’s mid-sized and growing entrepreneurial businesses are its economic engine” says Jane Mullholland, Senior Tax Partner at BDO in Southampton.

Jane continues, “Many have sustained impressive results through a period of rapid change and increasing uncertainty in UK and global markets, which is only likely to continue as Brexit negotiations begin.

“We support these companies in their growth and success, and see that the focus for many of them now is to try and prepare for the unforeseen in order to maintain their profitability through these different economic cycles.”

BDO Partner, Steve Le Bas adds: “In my experience, profitable growth is delivered by strong management teams that plan for all eventualities.

“Speed of reaction, efficiencies, diversification and a stable, engaged workforce can all help companies not only minimise the risks but be in a strong position to capitalise on any opportunities that this changing environment offers.”

BDO will present all the top performing companies with a special plaque to celebrate their achievements and they will be shortlisted for the BDO Central South Mid Market Company of the Year, to be announced in early 2018.
