A RAFT of business leaders gathered as the third Bradford Top 100 Businesses report was issued.

The report is published by The Telegraph & Argus in partnership with the University of Bradford.

It is a unique report that pulls together specific data for Bradford-based businesses to build up a story of those that are top of their game.

The data has been interrogated by the School of Management and ranked across several parameters.

Only those that submit their accounts to Companies House can be measured, but as there are dozens of very successful companies that operate locally, whose accounts are not submitted this way, we have selected 20 notable others.

The report pulls out just a few of those companies, and we showcase just a few of the many.

The event, attended by 150 business leaders, was opened by Professor Udy Archibong, MBE (Pro Vice-Chancellor for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion) at the university, who welcomed esteemed guests and thanked everyone for attending.

The report is produced as a glossy guide, with copies also going to UKREiiF 2025, the UK’s top real estate event and conference, taking place from May 20 to 22 in Leeds – where key decision-makers in UK property and infrastructure will be in attendance – as well being published in the T&A and online.

Steve Lowe, sales director for the T&A, thanked the University of Bradford for its hard work in producing the data and to Schofield Sweeney and Azets for sponsoring the event.

He said: “The TOP100 is all about shouting about Bradford as a district full of successful and diverse businesses, that we should be proud of.”
