Published this weekend, the seventh annual Sunday Times HSBC International Track 200 league table ranks Britain’s mid-market private companies with the fastest-growing international sales.
Entier Limited has featured in this league table for the third year in succession and this year is amongst only 11 companies headquartered in Scotland (compared to 16 last year). Achieving a recent Queen’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade, this newest accolade is testament to Entier’s efforts in the international arena having grown global sales by 64% over a 2 year period – ranking them 43rd in this prestigious list (up from last year’s position of 83).
Peter Bruce, chief executive of Entier said: “Appearing on this respected list for the third year in a row demonstrates our sustained growth in the global marketplace. Coupled with our recent Queen’s Award we are honoured that our dedication to international growth has been recognised. These two awards confirm my belief in our strategy to continue to grow our business internationally”.
Amanda Murphy, UK head of corporate banking at HSBC, commented: “The Sunday Times HSBC International Track 200 is a great reflection of the value of building connections overseas. The world is getting smaller and for ambitious businesses, the opportunities to source goods and services and to grow organically via international trade, digitally or on the ground, are easier than ever. I'm delighted to see so many HSBC-backed mid-sized firms making such a strong impression on the world stage."
The league table reflects the importance of Europe to Britain’s mid-market exporters ahead of the UK’s EU referendum on 23 June. More than three quarters of the companies (166) sell to the continent, the most popular market, followed by North America (108) and Asia (88). It is sponsored by HSBC and compiled by Fast Track, the Oxford-based research and networking events firm.
