To demonstrate the sort of companies you will find on a Top 1000 list, here is a list of the top 100 companies, ranked firstly by turnover (best for marketing, finance and chief executive lists) and then ranked by number of employees (best for lists of personnel and training contacts). You will find that our lists differ from those on the financial pages of newspapers, which rank companies by market capitalisation (share price multiplied by number of shares issued); this method of ranking excludes privately-owned companies, such as Arcadia, Boots, EMI, Mars and Virgin, partnerships such as John Lewis and Co-operative Trading Group and companies quoted on European and US stock markets such as Nestle, Google and Microsoft. The financial press rankings suit investors, while our rankings are better for marketing, mailing and telemarketing purposes and also more accurately reflect the UK corporate landscape.
