FEBE: Much more than a list

Commenting on the new FEBE Growth 100 List, FEBE co-founder Charlotte Quince said: "We're excited to publish this year's Growth 100. However, FEBE is so much more than a list. We are a network determined to empower and support one another.

"Those in our list – and FEBE legends that have appeared in previous lists – work together to share ideas and support each other. Together, we want to celebrate entrepreneurs who are the heartbeat of the UK economy; as they inspire, create, and drive positive change. We bring these leaders together throughout the year at our exclusive events and we share their incredible stories."

Former Dragon's Den Dragon and FEBE Growth 100 Ambassador Jenny Campbell added: "I'm proud to be part of something that celebrates and supports entrepreneurs and their companies. The FEBE Growth 100 focuses on true entrepreneurialism. Founders are unique: their experiences, vision and resilience are unlike anything else."

More details about the FEBE Growth 100 criteria:

The ultimate ranking of the 100 companies was data-driven, with companies ordered by compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in sales over the last three financial years. Businesses were initially selected by either nominating themselves or through FEBE contacting them directly, as well as by accessing publicly available financial information.
