Temp and placement agencies (NACE 78) are not in this list. Their staff includes the people they place with clients, so their growth is mostly their clients'.

Pick 2 to 6. This ranking as CSV All companies in the analysis workbench

The CSV holds the rows shown with place, sector, figure and financial year. The analysis workbench shows the same place and sector, sorted by this figure, with every registered company. Companies without recent accounts, which this ranking leaves out, are included too.

Method and sources

Average annual growth of staff (FTE) over three financial years, the way the OECD measures high-growth firms: at least 10 FTE at the start, four consecutive annual accounts and a plausible staff figure at both ends. Growth through a merger or takeover counts. Temp and placement agencies (NACE 78) are left out: their staff counts the people they place with clients. We do not use turnover: the abridged schema does not carry it.
