Top 100 for GGR-Unic

GGR-Unic the UK mini crane and glass handling distributor and rental company has made it into the Virgin Top 100 fastest growing private companies.

The company was 95th this year having posted a compound annual growth percentage of almost 54 percent. With revenues for 2007 of £12.8 million.

This is the second consecutive year that GGR has made the chart, which measures growth over a three year period. The chart does not include technology companies and all entrants must have revenues of at least £5 million with at least 10 employees.

GGR chief executive Graeme Riley said: “The focus we put on our customers is at the core of our business, whether it’s creating a bespoke lifting solution for a one-off job or ensuring the technical advice and service we provide is consistently second-to-none. We are incredibly pleased to have maintained a place in the Top 100 in what has not been an easy year for the industry.”

Vertikal Comment

This is quite an achievement for GGR as many companies drop out once after their first appearance as it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain the high compound growth percentages once the business reaches a certain size. So congratulations are in order.

Where did the Vertikal Press figure? We forget to enter ….. the £5 million might also have proved a barrier….. and the 10 full time employees….. ah well…
