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

The CSV holds the rows shown with place, sector, measure and financial year. The analysis workbench opens the same place and sector, sorted by this figure, with every registered company: also those without recent accounts, which this ranking leaves out.

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

67 more companies with this figure are not in the top. Every company has its own dossier with all its figures.
