WELCOME ➔ elitebusiness100

Welcome to the 2026 results of the Elite Business Top 100.

HUGE congratulations to all the SME businesses that have secured a place in this year’s Elite Business 100. In a year defined by rapid technological acceleration, economic recalibration and shifting market dynamics, your ability to grow, adapt and lead stands as a testament to the strength of British entrepreneurship.

A special thank you to our sponsors and partners whose continued support enables us to celebrate and elevate the UK’s most ambitious businesses.

This year’s rankings reflect both resilience and reinvention. We have seen a strong wave of new entrants challenging established norms, alongside returning businesses who continue to evolve, innovate and outperform. Retention within the rankings remains strong, a clear sign that sustainable growth, not short-term wins, defines true excellence.

Collectively, the 2026 EB100 winners represent a powerful force within the UK economy generating hundreds of millions in revenue, creating thousands of jobs, and

driving meaningful innovation across sectors. Yet their real impact extends beyond financial metrics.

These businesses are strengthening supply chains, investing in people, embracing technology and shaping the future of British enterprise.

With the continued expansion of the Elite Business ecosystem, the EB100 now reaches an audience of over half a million entrepreneurs, founders and decision-makers nationwide, offering winners not just recognition, but national visibility and influence.

About the EB100 The EB100 National Awards celebrate and rank the UK’s most exceptional SME businesses.

While many awards focus purely on headline numbers, the EB100 is built differently. We take a holistic view of business excellence recognising organisations that demonstrate strategic leadership, innovation, resilience and longterm impact.

At Elite Business, innovation has always been central to our mission whether through our national

ELITE BUSINESS 100 - 2026

platform, our digital channels, or our flagship event, Elite Business Live 2026.

Our goal remains clear: to ensure the EB100 is not simply an award, but a benchmark of credibility within the SME community.

Each year we are inspired by the calibre of businesses entering, and 2026 has raised the bar once again.

How the EB100 is Judged Businesses enter through a rigorous online application process, assessed by a panel of industry experts against a comprehensive set of criteria.

Beyond financial performance, judges consider: • Sustainable growth and scalability • Leadership and team development • Community and societal contribution • Innovation and future-readiness • Operational excellence and adaptability We assess the full business journey, not just where a company is today, but how it has navigated challenges and positioned itself for the future.

The Competitive Edge in 2026 Artificial intelligence, automation and digital transformation continue to redefine competitive advantage.

In 2026 the conversation has shifted from experimentation to execution. Businesses that are embedding AI into workflows, customer experience and decisionmaking are seeing measurable gains in productivity and performance.

As the pace of technological change accelerates, those who combine human ingenuity with intelligent systems will shape the next era of SME growth.

The EB100 celebrates those businesses that are not only reacting to change but leading it.

Championing SME Confidence SMEs remain the engine of the UK economy. At a time when economic conditions demand both agility and confidence, it is vital that ambitious businesses are recognised, supported and connected.

The EB100 plays a role in strengthening that ecosystem — providing visibility, credibility and community to founders who are building sustainable, futurefocused organisations.

Diary Date, 11th March 2026 If your business is part of the EB100, we invite you to join us for the 2026 National Celebratory & Awards Evening, taking place 11 March 2026 at Leonardo Royal, St Paul’s, London.

Expect an exceptional evening as we recognise this year’s leading businesses and present additional category awards for outstanding achievement.

All EB100 winners become part of the Elite Business Alumni an exclusive network of previous winners. Each year, we gather to connect, collaborate and celebrate continued success, strengthening the relationships that power longterm growth. We look forward to catching up with our Alumni in June this year in central London.

Here’s to an exceptional 2026 From everyone at Elite Business HQ, congratulations once again on this remarkable achievement.

We look forward to celebrating with you.

Scott English EB100 Brand Director Don’t forget to shout about your success!

Carter Consultancy ➔ carter-consultancy.com

leadership around what truly matters to customers.

We help organisations tackle some of their toughest challenges: disengaged teams, fragmented processes, inconsistent customer experience and change initiatives that fail to stick. Working at both a strategic and operational level, we translate ambition into action by connecting leadership intent with front-line reality.

Our fractional engagement model and combination of Continuous Improvement, Customer Experience and Change Management methodologies is the differentiator. This approach works in sync to form strategies to executing changes, providing embedded support to leadership

teams without the cost or disruption of permanent hires.

Acting as a trusted extension of the leadership team, we bring clarity, pace and external perspective to transformation priorities, while working side-by-side with frontline teams to deliver tangible improvements in efficiency, engagement and customer outcomes.

Unlike larger consultancies that rely on standardised playbooks, we offer continuity from diagnosis through to delivery. Our humancentred, hands-on approach ensures change is not only well designed, but lived in day-to-day behaviours, creating measurable results and lasting impact.

2020

MOST businesses don’t have a marketing problem. They have a positioning problem - but they don’t always realise it.

They are capable, often exceptional at what they do.

Yet when a prospective client encounters them, the difference isn’t immediately clear. On a website, in a proposal, across a boardroom table, their value blends into the wider market.

And when the difference isn’t clear, buying decisions slow. Price becomes the comparator and value demands complicated explanation.

In competitive markets, that

Brand and marketing strategy

kind of ambiguity is expensive. At STORY22, we strip out the vague and generic so winning business becomes easier - and more commercially sustainable.

Over the past few years, working with leadership teams across all industries, one pattern keeps emerging. Organisations that grow most sustainably are not the loudest, nor the ones with the biggest marketing budgets.

They are the clearest.

Easy to understand. Simple to explain. A no-brainer to recommend.

They become the obvious choice.

Co-founder Sonya Whittam explains: “We see these challenges repeatedly. A manufacturer whose growth stalled - not because of capability, but because they couldn’t clearly differentiate from a lower-priced competitor. A nationwide commercial cleaning firm delivering above and beyond, yet unable to articulate why it was worth more than the market average. The issue wasn’t effort. It was clarity.”

That insight has shaped the evolution of STORY22. What began as brand messaging support has developed into strategic marketing advice built around two powerful frameworks. The StoryBrand framework helps businesses clarify who they are for, the problem they solve and why it matters - in language customers immediately recognise. The Unreasonable Hospitality framework focuses on the service experience - ensuring what you promise in marketing is consistently felt in reality.

Because marketing sets the expectation. Service fulfils it.

But experience is what people remember.

In June, STORY22 will bring this thinking together in a two-day London event designed to help businesses refine their positioning and design customer experiences that make them unforgettable.

When promise, performance and experience align, customers don’t need persuading. They simply choose you first.

Fearless Business ➔ robinwaite.com

ROBIN Waite founded Fearless Business after running his own marketing agency and repeatedly seeing the same issue: capable business owners working long hours, delivering great results for clients, yet still struggling financially because they were charging the wrong way.

Fearless Business was built to fix that. Instead of teaching people to chase more leads or grow bigger teams, the programmes help service-based businesses redesign how they sell, moving away from hourly billing and toward outcomebased pricing, clearer offers, and better boundaries.

Through a combination of group coaching, one-to-one support, practical frameworks and an

48

40

extensive knowledge library, clients implement changes quickly rather than just learning theory.

The results are measurable. Many clients double their prices within months, replace large client rosters with fewer higher-value clients, and reduce working hours while increasing profit. Businesses often move from inconsistent income to predictable monthly revenue without increasing marketing spend.

Accessibility is a core part of the model. Robin regularly delivers free coaching events, shares thousands of copies of his books each year, and provides open educational content so early-stage entrepreneurs can access guidance before they can afford coaching.

Dot Dot Bubble Tea

What sets Fearless Business apart is its simplicity: more profit, fewer clients, and a calmer, sustainable way of working.

Dot Dot Bubble Tea crafts premium, low-sugar, ready-todrink bubble tea, celebrating flavour, culture and togetherness across communities.

Lovehands Care Services

Derby

Lovehands Care has been built on a bold yet deeply personal vision: to transform homecare into a service defined not just by support, but by dignity, innovation, and human connection ➔ lovehandscare.co.uk

FOUNDED in February 2019, and operating across the Midlands, we provide high-quality, person centred care that enables individuals to remain independent in the comfort of their own homes while receiving tailored, professional support.

Our services range from personal care, companionship, live in care to specialist dementia care, complex care, end of life care and physical/ learning disability care for adults.

By delivering responsive, flexible care packages, we play an essential role in supporting NHS discharge pathways and reducing avoidable hospital admissions. Each care package is carefully designed following a comprehensive assessment, ensuring it reflects

42

the unique needs, preferences, and routines of every individual.

We work closely with families, healthcare professionals, and local authorities to create seamless, outcome-focused care plans.

What truly differentiates us within the sector is our integration of compassion with technology and workforce empowerment. We have strategically invested in AI-driven digital care management systems, enabling real-time reporting, enhanced compliance, improved communication, and measurable service transparency. This innovation reduces administrative burden and allows carers to spend more meaningful time with clients.

Equally, our people-first culture sets us apart. In an industry

challenged by high staff turnover, we prioritise fair pay, structured career pathways, leadership development, and mental health support. As a certified mental health first aider and active sector collaborator, our leadership fosters a stable, motivated workforce committed to excellence.

A proud member of the Homecare Association, we uphold the highest standards of governance, sustainability, and accountability.

Beyond service delivery, we sponsor community initiatives, champion diversity, and invest in responsible growth.

Since 2019, we have evolved into a trusted, forward-thinking care provider redefining what modern homecare should look like, delivering excellence not only in service, but in social impact and leadership within the care sector.

Since launch, Laceeze has sold more than 700,000 pairs worldwide and expanded into the Defiance range of performance accessories, including gloves, base layers and boot care solutions. The brand is known and trusted by grassroots clubs, academies and families.

What sets Laceeze apart is its founder-led innovation, deep connection to youth sport, and mission to support grassroots participation. Strategic partnerships, collaborations and community initiatives have further strengthened the brand’s growth over the past two years.

Facilities Maintenance & Renewables

IDM Energy ➔ idmenergy.co.uk

IDM Energy’s business model is to simplify delivery for facilities managers by replacing multiple contractors with one accountable partner covering a variety of services IDM ENERGY was built in the Highlands and Islands with a clear entrepreneurial objective: to bring ownership, pace and transparency to facilities maintenance and solve problems facilities managers know too well: too many contractors, too little ownership, and not enough visibility once the job is “in progress”.

From our HQ in Inverness, and operational bases in Stornoway and the Central Belt, we support organisations across Scotland with reactive and planned facilities maintenance alongside renewable energy upgrades.

Founded during the COVID-19 pandemic, our business was designed to simplify delivery for

48

facilities managers by replacing multiple contractors with one accountable partner covering hard services, multi-trade support and energy improvement.

A central helpdesk provides a single point of contact. Multitrade teams attend site, diagnose issues properly, complete the work and close it out. Services include statutory compliance, planned preventative maintenance, reactive call-outs, minor works, larger refurbishment projects, and helping our clients keep assets safe, compliant and operational.

IDM Energy designs and delivers solutions such as solar PV and heat pumps, coordinating the electrical, mechanical and building works

required to ensure installations function effectively in live environments.

What differentiates us is how we combine people, processes and technology. Clients receive consistent communication, real-time job updates and clear reporting, providing visibility without constant chasing.

Internally, automation strips out unnecessary administration, allowing the team to focus on quality, safety and skills development.

This approach has driven national recognition. In 2025, co-founders Iain Macphail and Kyle Smith were named National Winners of the John Caudwell Award at the Allica Bank Great British Entrepreneur Awards. IDM Energy was also commended in a Scottish Parliament motion for growth, commitment to apprenticeships, and focus on safety and sustainability.

We adapt to client operational reality, deliver full trade support, and treat your people like professionals (because they are).

The business blends five-star boutique hotel standards with immersive outdoor living. Each unit is individually designed and completely private, featuring amenities such as hot tubs, outdoor cinemas, saunas, cold plunge pools, styled bar areas and concierge-level guest services. Unlike traditional glamping sites, there are no shared facilities. Every stay is self-

54

contained and experience-led.

In 2025, the company launched the UK’s first “room service for glamping”, allowing guests to order firewood, food boxes and drinks directly to their unit via SMS and QR code. This innovation reflects the company’s shift from accommodation provider to

boutique woodland hotel concept.

The Secret Garden Glamping has won regional and national tourism awards and is recognised for raising standards within the luxury glamping sector through design, service innovation and reinvestment.

What sets the brand apart is simple: privacy, product quality, storytelling, and service that rivals high-end hotels — delivered in nature.

The market is fragmented, criteria are unclear and opportunities are often missed.

Swoop brings clarity to that journey. Using secure open banking connections, real time financial data and AI-driven analysis, the platform understands each business properly and matches it with tailored funding options across loans, equity, grants and commercial mortgages. At the same time, it identifies savings across banking, foreign exchange, utilities

and insurance, helping businesses protect margin as well as raise capital.

Importantly, Swoop is free for businesses to use.

Founded in 2018, Swoop has grown rapidly across the UK, Ireland, US, Canada, Australia and South Africa.

Recognised as the fastest growing technology company in Ireland by the Deloitte Fast 50 and recipient of multiple industry awards for innovation and impact, Swoop continues to redefine access to business finance.

London, UK

FOUNDED in 2016, The Cheeky Panda was created with a simple but disruptive idea: to replace traditional tree-based tissue products with the world’s fastest growing plant bamboo, dramatically reducing deforestation while delivering high-quality everyday essentials.

What began as a challenger brand has grown into one of the UK’s most recognisable sustainable consumer brands. The Cheeky Panda supplied 86 million bamboo toilet rolls to households and businesses in 2025 alongside kitchen roll, facial tissues, wipes, and professional hygiene products — all designed to be better for both people and the planet.

The brand’s core innovation lies in its use of certified bamboo, a grass that regenerates rapidly without the need for deforestation, replanting, pesticides, or fertilisers.

The company also champions transparent supply chains, plasticfree packaging where possible, and independently verified environmental claims from B Corp FSC and a gold Eco Vadis rating.

Commercial success has gone hand-in-hand with purpose. The Cheeky Panda has consistently outperformed category growth,

FMCG

securing national retail listings with Tesco, Morrisons, Boots and Waitrose as well as expanding internationally, building a strong B2B presence across hospitality, workplaces, and public sector organisations. Its products are trusted by major corporations, SMEs, and consumers seeking sustainable alternatives without compromising on softness or performance.

Beyond products, The Cheeky Panda has positioned itself as a voice for change within FMCG — challenging outdated industry norms, educating consumers on sustainability, and proving that environmentally responsible businesses can scale profitably.

What truly sets The Cheeky Panda apart is its ability to combine premium branding, operational excellence, and genuine environmental impact. Rather than sustainability as a marketing add-on, it sits at the heart of every commercial decision, making the company a standout example of modern British entrepreneurship.

From day one, our focus has been business operations improvement powered by digital integration and intelligent automation.

While our heritage sits in project controls and PMO, we quickly evolved into a broader operational transformation partner. Today, we help businesses design, automate and optimise their operational reporting, governance and decision frameworks.

At the heart of our model is integrated reporting. We connect data across finance, delivery, commercial, resource, pipeline and performance systems into a unified intelligence layer. Rather than creating more reports, we create a single, trusted operating picture. This gives leadership teams

real time visibility across the entire business, enabling faster and more confident strategic decisions.

To support this, we build AI automation agents tailored to each organisation’s needs. These agents streamline workflows, validate data, generate reporting outputs, monitor KPIs and flag anomalies before they become problems. By automating repetitive processes and reducing human error, we free leadership teams to focus on high value thinking rather than administration.

Our Sentra intelligence environment sits at the centre of this approach. Sentra integrates structured data, live performance metrics and workflow automation into a dynamic control layer for the business. It acts as a digital

Business Improvement & Reporting

backbone, aligning operations, reporting and governance.

Alongside this, Modexa functions as an AI assisted operations companion, guiding teams, prompting actions and accelerating routine outputs such as board packs, performance dashboards and compliance reporting.

What sets Movar apart from others in our sector is the combination of strategic insight, operational expertise and in house digital capability. Many firms provide advisory services without building the systems.

Others deliver technology without understanding operational nuance.

We integrate both. We understand how businesses actually operate, and we engineer automation and reporting environments that work

in practice, not just in theory.

Our model is built around measurable impact. Clients typically experience immediate improvements in reporting speed, clarity and data confidence.

Manual effort reduces, governance strengthens and decision cycles shorten. Instead of chasing information across departments, leaders operate from a consolidated and reliable view of performance.

Culturally, we differentiate ourselves through agility and partnership. We embed within organisations, working closely with senior leadership to design solutions that reflect real strategic priorities. We do not deliver generic dashboards. We build tailored intelligence systems aligned to growth, margin protection, operational resilience and scalability.

In parallel with our client services, we invest in continuous capability development. Our Digital Project Controls Training Course, endorsed by the Controls and Skills Authority, ensures our teams operate at the forefront of digital operations, automation and intelligent reporting. This internal commitment to excellence translates directly into the quality and innovation our clients experience.

Movar’s journey has been one of rapid growth and deliberate evolution. We began by improving delivery visibility within complex environments. We are now business operations improvement specialists building AI automation agents and highly integrated reporting ecosystems that transform how organisations see, understand and run their businesses.

We exist to remove friction, unlock intelligence and give leaders absolute confidence in the performance of their organisation.

NCM Auctions ➔ ncmauctions.co.uk

NCM was never built to blend in. It was built to challenge an industry that had stopped challenging itself

WHEN Emma McSkelly founded NCM Auctions in 2012, the commercial auction world looked much the same as it had for decades. An outdated approach, a sales route with no transparency and a focus on process rather than outcomes. Businesses were having their high-value assets cherry-picked, rather than being shown what was possible. Emma saw something different. That surplus assets weren’t a problem, but an opportunity to unlock value, drive sustainability and solve real commercial challenges.

That belief became the foundation of NCM. What started as a small, bootstrapped startup has grown into a £10 million-turnover asset management and auction pioneer, working with some of the most recognised brands in the UK and around the world. Emma set the vision early, we’re not here to run auctions and hope for the best.

Auctions and Asset Management

ELITE BUSINESS 100 - 2026

We’re here to build commercial strategies that turn complexity into clarity and surplus into success.

Executive Director Andy Smith joined NCM in 2022 and helped scale the operational side of the business. Around them is a tight, driven team of valuers, project managers, partnership leads, marketers and asset specialists who understand that results matter more than tradition.

And those results have been hard to ignore. NCM is the only auction house to appear in the Financial Times FT1000, the definitive ranking of Europe’s fastest growing companies. That recognition didn’t come from playing it safe.

It came from consistent growth in an industry that many thought was resistant to change. It came from building a model that clients actually needed.

Because here’s the truth. Most organisations don’t need auctions.

They need solutions.

They might be consolidating sites. Refurbishing flagship spaces, closing facilities, scaling operations, managing mergers, hitting ESG targets or protecting brand reputation. They have assets spread across multiple locations and facilities. They have stakeholders asking questions, timelines that can’t move and public scrutiny that can’t be ignored.

That’s where NCM steps in.

An auction is only one part of what we do. We deliver a full end-to-end asset management and disposal service that begins with valuation and surveying and stretches through sales strategy, global buyer matching, marketing campaigns, account management and on-site services. We manage extraction, clearance, dilapidation support, waste management, metal recycling and sustainability benchmarking. Providing outcomes that demonstrate real ESG action, not vague promises.

We design disposal strategies that maximise competitive buyer environments and return maximum revenue, while keeping assets in circulation and out of landfill. It’s commercially sharp and environmentally responsible.

It’s the circular economy made practical and obtainable.

Our client list reflects the scale of trust placed in us. Claridge’s, Everton FC, Twitter (now X), Aston Martin, HelloFresh, Frasers Group, Poundland, Kodak, DHL, Speedy Hire, Weetabix, Wembley Stadium and many more. These organisations don’t need a traditional auctioneer. They need a partner who understands risk, reputation and return.

Reaching £10 million turnover wasn’t a vanity milestone for NCM. It was proof of concept, proof that a modern, transparent, marketing-led and sustainability-driven approach works. Proof that you can disrupt a traditional sector and still build a serious, scalable business. We’ve invested in technology, in our brand and our people. Building systems that allow us to move quickly, think strategically and deliver consistently.

The next phase of our growth is about helping at scale. Supporting larger global organisations with more complex asset problems to solve. Strengthening our endto-end services. Expanding our international buyer networks and enhancing sustainability reporting so that clients can point to measurable, defensible impact.

NCM set out to prove that the industry could be sharper, faster and more rewarding for the client and the environment. Today, with a team that shares that belief and a track record to match, NCM is not just a leader in the sector, we’re reshaping it.

Global sports and corporate events logistics

CORPORATE and Sporting Events (CSE) are leading experts in the global events industry, seamlessly managing the behind-the-scenes logistics of major sporting and corporate occasions across five continents.

The specialist team has provided comprehensive logistics solutions for more than 750 events to date, with 2026 projects set to span from Perth to Paris and Los Angeles to Kuala Lumpur. This sees them take responsibility for everything from transport to accommodation for athletes, coaches, delegates – and all of their equipment too.

Since launching in 2008, CSE has developed long-standing partnerships with many of the world’s foremost sporting governing bodies – and just this month (February 2026), signed a three-year deal with the Union Cycliste Internationale which will see them oversee cycling events around the globe on behalf of the UCI and its 206 national federations.

Their track record working in partnership with organisations such as World Athletics, World Aquatics and World Gymnastics, as well as UK-based sports authorities including British Gymnastics, England Hockey, and the LTA, has seen them rise to the top of the events logistics industry – being called on to support some of the biggest and best sporting events such as the Paris Olympics, Wimbledon and the London Marathon.

ELITE BUSINESS 100 - 2026

The increasingly international nature of their work means a well-managed schedule to ensure the team are always on hand to co-ordinate logistics in cities across the world, often travelling from one continent to another, to another – such is the demand for CSE’s expertise. Yet despite their global success, CSE has remained true to their UK roots: all of this work is co-ordinated from their headquarters in Birmingham, at the Alexander Stadium, which hosted the Commonwealth Games in 2022.

Clients are treated to a gold medal service, with everything from hotel bookings to travel routes meticulously planned for them – and a constant watch kept on variables such as the weather, transport delays, and customs regulations to ensure the timing and location of every person and item is carefully managed before, during and after the event.

Many months of planning go into ensuring logistical excellence for even the most complex multivenue, multi-week events; and the same effort goes into the process, no matter the size, scale, location or purpose of the occasion.

In addition to their commitment to excellent service and their pride at being a British-based company, CSE has a number of causes they consistently champion.

The first of these is increased sustainability within the events industry. The team will only partner with organisers who share their eco credentials, and they work to educate both the sports and

corporate sectors about mitigating the environmental impacts of their events. Examples include the use of existing accommodation to house athletes rather than purpose-built villages, and the utilisation of more sustainable methods of transport such as buses, trains and even bikes to get athletes and their management teams to and from venues.

Managing Director Simon Hainsworth and his team have also diligently worked to champion equality within sports over many years – with a real focus on ensuring women and girls have as many opportunities as men and boys when it comes to engaging and playing at any level. Simon has often used his platform as a leader

within the sporting events world to highlight the need for additional funding, and support from fans, organisers and governments alike, to move towards a more equal focus when it comes to sports.

With a full suite of event management solutions, exceptional customer service as standard, a track record of many hundreds of events across the world, and partnerships with so many global sporting bodies, it is no wonder that CSE has climbed to the elite levels of logistics management, and that their offering is in such high demand.

Professional Services

When it comes to regulatory compliance Serve Legal has the needed resources to help organisations understand risk before it escalates into harm, enforcement action or reputational damage SERVE LEGAL was founded in 2006 following direct experience with regulatory enforcement. Our founders were alcohol retailers whose business was flagged by local authorities after an underage sale.

When they tried to source a reliable, affordable way to test compliance across multiple locations, the options available were limited and poorly aligned with real frontline conditions. Serve Legal was created to fill that gap, providing lawful, independent testing focused on real behaviour at the point of service, not policy on paper.

The business began with age verification audits, using trained mystery shoppers to assess whether controls worked in practice.

From the outset, the purpose was clear: protect customers, support staff and help organisations understand risk before it escalates into harm, enforcement action or reputational damage. As regulation developed, the model expanded beyond alcohol, proving adaptable across sectors and risk types to businesses across the UK and Ireland.

70

ELITE BUSINESS 100 - 2026

Today, Serve Legal delivers audits internationally, completing more than 250,000 audits annually.

Following the acquisition of Storecheckers, the business now offers nearly 60 years of collective mystery shopping and compliance auditing experience. This depth of expertise underpins work with major retail and hospitality brands worldwide, as well as BIDs, councils, educational institutions and gaming centres. Our programmes cover age-restricted sales, food allergen compliance, safer gambling, venue safety, staff training effectiveness and customer experience.

Serve Legal operates through a two-part delivery model. A central corporate team is responsible for programme design and client delivery. This team works closely with each client to understand their regulatory obligations, operating environment, risk profile and objectives. Audit programmes are then tailored to those realities, ensuring relevance, proportionality and value.

Delivery is supported by a large, trained auditor network managed through dedicated regional teams. Auditors receive structured training, oversight and safeguarding, ensuring consistent execution while retaining the flexibility required to operate at scale—including in remote locations. Results are delivered through dedicated Power BI dashboards, structured reporting and API integration, highlighting outcomes, trends and repeat risk areas so clients can take targeted, measurable action.

What sets Serve Legal apart is our focus on impact, not just

measurement. Audits are designed to explain why failures occur, not simply record them. Our insight identifies systemic issues such as store or venue layout, time pressure, unclear guidance and training gaps—so clients can reduce repeat failure, target investment more effectively and support frontline teams to succeed.

The business is driven by work that makes a tangible difference.

Our programmes work to support reductions in underage knife, vape and alcohol sales, increased investment in safety, and improved confidence in frontline delivery. Safety perception audits developed in partnership with Ask for Angela support safer venues and contribute to wider efforts

addressing violence against women and girls.

Since 2024, international expansion has focused on building consistent standards, governance and capability across regions. Ongoing investment in people, data and quality ensures growth without dilution. Serve Legal’s ambition is to remain a trusted, ethical partner—helping organisations protect customers, support staff and meet regulatory responsibilities with confidence in an increasingly demanding compliance landscape.

A smarter approach

FOUNDED with a vision to drive positive disruption in the refreshments industry, Vending Sense has rapidly become one of the UK’s leading providers of smart coffee, vending, and water solutions for modern workplaces.

Our journey began with a simple yet powerful idea: to transform the way businesses think about workplace refreshments by blending innovation and sustainability with data-driven

Mason Todd, Founder/Managing Director says: “When we started in 2016, we knew customers deserved better. We set out to introduce a new standard in the industry — one that prioritised proactive service.

Our goal was to change how the coffee and vending market was perceived. As we celebrate ten years of Vending Sense, I’m proud of the strong reputation we’ve created for

Our dedicated team is committed to delivering exceptional customer service. We do this by using the latest technology to enhance our products and services, while our data-driven analytics keeps our clients always one step ahead of the game.

By closely monitoring usage patterns, predicting demand, and automating replenishment, we ensure a seamless and efficient service. With our industry expertise, we tailor solutions for each client, minimising waste and

downtime. This perfect blend of team and technology guarantees that workplaces are consistently stocked with fresh, high-quality refreshments, exactly when and where they’re needed.

Sustainability at our core

In a sector driven by convenience, we lead with an ESG-first approach.

From recyclable coffee packaging and beans roasted in our 100% renewable energy roastery, to energy-efficient machines and treeplanting initiatives, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.

Employee wellbeing & productivity

Modern businesses recognise that productivity and work culture are connected. Studies show that employees who experience higher levels of wellbeing can be up to 63% more productive, but it’s their environment that fuels sustained success. At Vending Sense, we aim to transform workplaces into vibrant, energised spaces that not only boost productivity but also bring a culture of care, convenience, and connection.

Our solutions enhance both wellbeing and team dynamics, creating collaborative spaces that inspire change. We help companies create

an atmosphere where employees thrive, empowering teams to work better and ultimately build stronger, happier workplaces that retain top talent and inspire success.

Sam Marra, Founder, Sales & Marketing Director, says: “Our vision is simple: to help the UK’s best businesses create workplaces where people want to be, by delivering smarter, highquality refreshment solutions that keep teams happy, engaged, and productive.

The way companies approach office work is shifting. Some are mandating five days in the office, while others are giving employees full flexibility.

But the real focus should be on making the office a place people want to be, an environment that drives productivity, collaboration, and satisfaction. We believe the best work happens in the workplace, and businesses that get this right will win the war on talent.

Right now, we’re focusing on growth, investing in technology, expanding our product range, and raising the bar for service to set a new industry standard.”

As we continue to expand, our mission remains: to drive innovation and lead the refreshment industry into a more sustainable, data-driven, and people-focused future.

Vending Sense isn’t just a vending provider, we are a strategic partner for businesses that want Better, Smarter Workspace Refreshments.

Logika Group ➔ logikagroup.com

What differentiates environmental consultancy Logika Group from others is its ability to translate consultancy into meaningful environmental and social change. It’s proving to be a winning proposition Logika Group was founded to achieve one major aim: to provide a more holistic approach to environmental consultancy – allowing businesses, community and the environment to thrive together in harmony.

Noticing that the traditional separation of expertise was slowing progress, in 2019 the Group united decades of experience under one umbrella. In fact, its roots date back to 1993, when the first of its constituent companies – Air Quality Consultants – started out.

Now, with offices in London, Bristol, Brighton, Warrington and Brussels, the Group consists of four sister companies: Air Quality Consultants, Noise Consultants, Logika Consultants and Logika

Europe, with the Environmental Policy and Economics team working horizontally across the Group.

Science-led innovation

Each and every project Logika Group handles is backed by scientific precision and commitment to sustainability.

Indeed, the Group is unique in that it provides such a comprehensive suite of consultancy services, supporting clients through all stages of the project lifecycle – including post-completion.

Our key areas of expertise include:

• Air quality and climate change – developing strategies to monitor and reduce emissions for healthier natural and urban

environments • Noise and vibration – implementing sophisticated modelling to minimise noise pollution, enhance living conditions and allow nature to thrive • Environmental planning and design – embedding sustainability into all kinds of infrastructure and urban development • Biodiversity and green infrastructure – restoring ecosystems, enhancing green spaces and maintaining compliance as we improve urban spaces • Sustainability and net zero – helping companies to achieve carbon neutrality with tailored

sustainability roadmaps • Environmental policy and socioeconomics – guaranteeing that projects positively enhance communities by addressing all aspects of environment, society and health Real-world impact

Another quality that sets Logika Group apart is its ability to translate consultancy into meaningful environmental and social change. This can be seen in some of our standout projects, whether it’s conducting nationwide air quality monitoring to see the pollutants that contribute to respiratory illness significantly reduced, or protecting water resources whilst restoring biodiversity in rivers for longterm environmental resilience. We advise and support government agencies and private-sector clients alike, facilitating everything from the expansion of London City Airport to policy updates led by expert modelling for DEFRA (the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs).

Social commitment

Beyond consultancy, Logika Group remains actively engaged in the community, to generate positive social change. From transforming concrete playgrounds into thriving green spaces on a volunteer basis to setting new precedents for conservation projects through the creation of biodiverse habitats at Lower Valley Farm – we exist for improvement and vital change.

That’s why we’re equally committed to nurturing the next generation through graduate programmes, university partnerships and internships, whilst looking after our own through dedicated diversity training, career development opportunities and mental health support.

Doing things differently

Ultimately, Logika Group stands out from traditional environmental consultancies, given its unique combination of cross-sector technical knowledge and combined, socio-economic and environmental commitment. Our well-rounded solutions are not only backed by the latest research but also bring together expertise from multiple disciplines, rather than focussing solely on one area at a time, as is standard practice in the industry.

Everything we do is backed by rigorous analysis, compliance and measurable impact – plus we’ve made sure that environmental and social responsibility are embedded in every aspect of our business model, making us better equipped to help others make them a priority.

Everything from policy advocacy to community engagement is sustainable and – with thousands of approved projects and direct contributions to policy reform – our growing team can’t wait to lead more efforts for a greener, healthier tomorrow.

LIVE WIRE specialises in delivering the technical infrastructure behind some of the world’s most high-profile live sporting events. Our work is focused within global sport, with a strong emphasis on Formula 1, where precision, speed, and reliability are non-negotiable.

In environments where there is no margin for error and no opportunity for delay, Live Wire provides the expertise that keeps everything running seamlessly.

The business was founded over a decade ago in response to a clear challenge within the live events and broadcast sector. Major sporting events were becoming more complex, more international, and more technologically demanding, yet delivery models often relied on fragmented teams and shortterm contractors. Live Wire was created to offer something better: a dedicated, end-to-end technical partner capable of managing complex builds anytime, anywhere.

Since then, Live Wire has grown alongside the global sporting calendar, building a reputation for delivering in high-pressure environments where performance is critical. Formula 1 has become a core part of our work, shaping

ELITE BUSINESS 100 - 2026

how we plan, resource, and execute projects. The pace, precision, and scale of F1 demands absolute clarity and an exceptional standard of delivery - values that can be seen in everything we do.

Live Wire provides full lifecycle solutions for live sporting environments. Our involvement often begins at the planning stage, working closely with rightsholders, teams, broadcasters, and creative partners to develop technical strategies that support both operational needs and fan experience. From temporary installations and broadcast compounds to hospitality spaces

2015

and immersive brand environments, our role is to ensure the technology works flawlessly under live conditions.

From planning, we move into procurement, logistics, and build delivery. Our project managers and technicians travel globally to install, integrate, and commission systems on-site. This handson approach is critical in the sporting world, where timelines are compressed and conditions can change rapidly. Having Live Wire’s experienced personnel on the ground allows us to make informed decisions quickly, maintain quality control, and keep projects moving

forward.

Once systems are installed, they are tested rigorously to ensure they can withstand the demands of live sport; long days, tight turnarounds, and global broadcast scrutiny. We don’t simply install equipment; we ensure it performs reliably across an entire event cycle. Our handover includes clear documentation and support, giving clients confidence that their systems are ready for live operation.

What sets Live Wire apart is our ability to operate calmly and consistently in environments where pressure is constant. Sporting events, Formula 1 in particular, require teams who understand the realities of live delivery; immovable deadlines, international travel, and the expectation that everything works first time. Our team is selected and trained specifically for this reality.

We differentiate ourselves through continuity and trust.

Clients work with a dedicated Live Wire team that understands their workflows, standards, and expectations. This long-term partnership approach reduces risk, improves efficiency, and allows us to anticipate challenges before they become problems.

At its heart, Live Wire is a peopledriven business. Our technicians and project managers take pride in the fact that their work supports events watched by millions around the world. In a sector where failure is highly visible and time cannot be extended, Live Wire is trusted to deliver. Through our focus on sporting events and our deep experience within Formula 1, we continue to power live environments where precision, performance, and reliability matter.

Headquartered in London, the business was established with a clear focus on helping organisations manage credit risk and trade surveillance in environments defined by volatility, regulatory scrutiny, and operational complexity.

From the outset, CubeLogic differentiated itself by concentrating exclusively on the energy and commodities sector.

Rather than adapting generic financial risk tools, the companybuilt technology grounded in how physical and financial energy markets actually operate

The company has scaled steadily across North America, Europe, and Asia, delivering multiple complex golives for enterprise clients while expanding its global workforce and delivery capabilities. This operational maturity has enabled CubeLogic to support organisations navigating heightened market volatility, increased credit scrutiny, and more demanding surveillance obligations.

At the core of CubeLogic’s offering is RiskCubed, a crossasset risk platform designed to bring market risk, credit risk, and analytics together within a single, cohesive framework. RiskCubed enables firms to consolidate data from multiple internal and external sources, calculate key risk measures, and gain timely visibility across portfolios spanning energy, commodities, and derivatives.

Native Business Intelligence capabilities are embedded into the platform, allowing users to analyse risk dynamically, explore trends, and support decision-making without relying on fragmented reporting tools or manual processes.

It applies scenario-based alerting and behavioural analytics to help firms detect potential market abuse, anomalous trading patterns, and regulatory breaches under frameworks such as REMIT II and MAR. What sets CubeLogic apart is not only the breadth of its technology, but the way it is delivered and continuously evolved.

This close collaboration ensures

the platform evolves in line with changing market conditions and client needs, particularly around timely risk visibility, automation, and control.

As markets have become faster, more interconnected, and more closely regulated, demand for integrated, sector-specific risk and trade surveillance solutions has intensified — a trend that has driven CubeLogic’s continued expansion.

Industry recognition has followed, reflecting the company’s leadership in energy trade surveillance and credit risk solutions. These acknowledgements provide independent validation of an approach already proven in live production environments across global markets.

Looking ahead, CubeLogic remains focused on sustained growth, continued innovation, and helping clients adapt to an increasingly demanding risk landscape. With a strong pipeline, ongoing international expansion, and a bold product roadmap, the company is well positioned for its next phase of development.

Commercial Sustainable Hybrid & Battery Energy Solutions

Energy Solutions Energy is no longer something businesses can afford to leave unmanaged. Energy Solutions puts control back in their hands ➔ energy-solutions.co.uk

80

MOST businesses take power for granted. You plug in. It works. The generator runs. The bill arrives. You pay it (reluctantly!).

But energy is no longer a background utility. It is volatile, expensive and increasingly strategic. And for businesses operating off-grid, on temporary sites or in power-constrained environments, it can be the single biggest operational risk.

Energy Solutions was built to solve that problem.

Founded in 1995 and now 30 years into its journey, the Kent-based engineering firm has become a go-to UK authority in intelligent, sustainable power systems.

From construction and marine to complex hybrid infrastructure, Energy Solutions designs and integrates advanced hybrid solutions that help organisations regain control of their energy.

ELITE BUSINESS 100 - 2026

“Unpredictability creates anxiety,” says founder and Managing Director Paul Holland. “Energy is volatile, expensive and hard to manage. That uncertainty impacts everything from margins to reputation. Our job is to remove that uncertainty – to give organisations control over capacity, cost, emissions and resilience.”

That philosophy has shaped the company’s evolution.

While many providers focus on retailing individual components, Energy Solutions focuses on systems, integrating storage, conversion, monitoring and control into cohesive solutions that work reliably in even the most demanding industrial, military and humanitarian environments.

One of the clearest examples is EasyGrid, the company’s intelligent battery energy storage platform.

Businesses have had access to solar technology for years, yet much of industry still relies heavily on inefficient diesel generation or constrained grid connections. The result is wasted fuel, unnecessary carbon impact and escalating operational costs.

EasyGrid changes that.

By storing surplus energy and intelligently managing when generators run, the remotely controlled system reduces fuel consumption and emissions by more than 50 per cent. On heavy usage construction and infrastructure projects, the impact

can be transformational both on cost and carbon reduction.

“Domestic consumers moved early,” explains Chief Commercial Officer Mark Penny. “They installed solar panels, added battery storage and started managing tariffs. But industry has been slow to follow — and the cost has been significant.

We’re simplifying sustainable energy to accelerate adoption.”

Battery energy storage allows commercial operators to store energy from solar or from the grid when it is cheapest, deploy it when demand peaks, increase capacity, reduce generator reliance and meet strict ESG targets. EasyGrid is not simply a battery box, it is an engineered, highly reliable microgrid designed for efficiency and scalability.

And that distinction matters.

Energy Solutions’ growth over the past decade has been driven not by a single product, but by a relentless commitment to solving real-world problems. From SmartSwitch DC4 – which simplifies and safeguards complex electrical systems – to ISOBoost, designed to stabilise unreliable shore power in marine environments, the company focuses on practical innovation that improves reliability and reduces risk.

That commitment extends to quality.

While others chase lower-cost imports, Energy Solutions regularly visits overseas manufacturing

partners, rigorously vets suppliers and prioritises long-term reliability over short-term savings.

Mark added: “If you don’t scrutinise global supply chains properly, quality suffers. And when you’re supplying mission-critical power, failure isn’t an option.”

The company has advised government groups on energy transition and air quality policy and insists on UK-based, inhouse technical support and comprehensive training for clients and partners – essential in sectors where downtime can halt operations entirely.

That same long-term thinking applies internally. Apprenticeships, structured training and leadership development are embedded in the business. Many senior team members began their careers within the company and have grown alongside it. For Paul Holland, investing in people is how the business safeguards its standards and its future.

As pressure mounts on businesses to modernise their energy strategy, the decision is becoming unavoidable. Energy can remain an escalating cost and operational risk or it can become a managed, resilient, strategic asset.

Energy Solutions exists to ensure it becomes the latter.

Hair Syrup ➔ hairsyrup.co.uk

For Hair Syrup what began as a lockdown side project has since evolved into one of the UK’s fastest-growing beauty brands FOUNDED in 2020 by Lucie Macleod, Hair Syrup began as a £300 kitchen experiment in Pembrokeshire, Wales. Frustrated by bleach damage and breakage in her early twenties, Lucie started blending natural, coldpressed oils to restore her own hair health. When she shared her transformation on TikTok, one video went viral, generating thousands of messages asking for her “magic syrup.”

In 2025, Hair Syrup was ranked

82

13th on The Sunday Times 100 list of fastest-growing UK companies, making it the fastest-growing beauty brand in the country.

From a single homemade formula, the business has grown into a nationally stocked, internationally expanding haircare company, all without external funding.

Hair Syrup specialises in scalpfirst, pre-wash oil treatments, a category it has helped bring into the mainstream. Unlike traditional post-wash serums, pre-wash oils

are applied before shampooing to deeply nourish the scalp, strengthen strands, rebalance oil production and support long-term hair health. The approach reframes haircare from purely cosmetic to results-led and preventative.

Each formula combines clinically backed, naturally derived ingredients such as rosemary, castor, grapefruit, peppermint and black seed oil. Products are cruelty-free, UK-made and free from silicones, mineral oils and parabens. With price points starting from £15.95, the brand has positioned itself at the intersection of accessibility and efficacy, delivering visible results without luxury mark-ups.

ELITE BUSINESS 100 - 2026

The product portfolio now includes over ten targeted treatments addressing specific concerns including thinning, breakage, dryness, oil imbalance and scalp irritation. Bestsellers such as Rapunzel and Growsmary have developed cult status online, supported by thousands of organic before-and-after testimonials.

A defining factor in Hair Syrup’s success is its social-first growth model. The brand built a community of over 500,000 followers across platforms through educational content, founder transparency and highly shareable

results-driven videos. Rather than relying on heavy paid advertising, Hair Syrup scaled through organic TikTok virality, authentic storytelling and carefully curated influencer partnerships.

This digital momentum has translated into strong commercial performance. Hair Syrup is stocked in major retailers including Boots, ASOS, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, JustMyLook and TikTok Shop. In 2025, the brand expanded internationally across Scandinavia through an exclusive partnership with leading beauty retailer Lyko, marking its first

significant European retail rollout.

The business has grown with a focused hero-SKU strategy, strong repeat purchase rates and lean operations. Profitability and cashflow discipline have been prioritised from the outset, allowing sustainable scaling without dilution or external capital.

In 2025, Hair Syrup expanded beyond oils with the launch of its first peptide-powered leave-in conditioner, signalling its evolution into a broader haircare authority.

This move reflects the company’s next phase: transitioning from fast-growth disruptor to long-term industry leader, expanding product categories while protecting brand equity.

Beyond product innovation, Hair Syrup differentiates itself through cultural relevance and real-world engagement. The brand has hosted large-scale public popups, immersive community events and retail activations designed to translate digital loyalty into offline experience. This ability to bridge online virality with realworld presence strengthens both credibility and connection.

At its core, Hair Syrup is redefining everyday haircare by making scalp health accessible, aspirational and mainstream. It has transformed a once-niche ritual into a widely adopted routine and continues to scale with clarity, discipline and cultural awareness. From a viral TikTok moment to international retail expansion, Hair Syrup represents the new blueprint for modern beauty brands: communitypowered, commercially focused and built for long-term growth.

UK’s fastest-growing SME lender has a mission to make finance simple, fast and beautiful. It is well on the way to achieving that

Financial Services

FOUNDED in 2016, Lovey (formerly Love Finance) has become the UK’s fastest-growing SME lender and broker by addressing one of the most persistent challenges in business finance: complexity. With a mission to make finance simple, fast and beautiful, the Birminghamheadquartered fintech has built a model that combines direct lending with brokerage services, giving SMEs tailored and flexible funding options.

The process is designed around speed and clarity. Businesses can submit an enquiry in just 60 seconds, check eligibility within five minutes and, where appropriate, receive funding in as little as four hours. Today, Lovey processes more than £1 million in small business loans every day, reflecting both demand and operational scale.

ELITE BUSINESS 100 - 2026

That efficiency has translated into significant financial growth.

Turnover increased from £4.7 million in 2023 to £9.2 million in 2024, and to approximately £18.7 million in FY2025, a 106% year-onyear increase. Loan volumes have grown in parallel, from £48 million in 2023 to £96 million in 2024 and £195 million in 2025 alone. To date, Lovey has facilitated around £400 million in funding to UK SMEs across a broad range of sectors.

Importantly, the company has remained profitable throughout its growth journey. Lovey was bootstrapped from inception and remains 100% founder-owned, scaling without venture capital or institutional equity backing. In 2025, the business strengthened its lending capacity by securing £45 million in debt financing, including a £35 million Revolving Credit Facility from Paragon Bank and a £10 million MTN programme from LGB Capital Markets. This funding supports continued expansion of the loan book while maintaining disciplined and sustainable growth.

Team growth has mirrored financial performance. From just 10 employees in 2021, Lovey expanded to 59 in 2024 and now employs more than 125 people, with plans to exceed 250 by Q3 2027.

Headquartered in Birmingham, the company has emerged as one of the region’s standout high-growth success stories.

The company ranked #157 in the FT1000 Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies 2025, rising from #547 the previous year. It placed #23 in the FEBE Growth 100 and #32 in The Sunday Times 100, and featured on both the Sifted 100 UK & Ireland Leaderboard 2025 and Sifted 250 Europe 2025, where it was the only Birmingham-based company included. In 2025, Lovey secured #35 in Deloitte’s UK Technology Fast 50, alongside #9 in the FinTech category and #2 in the Midlands.

At the centre of this growth is Founder and CEO Jack Smith, a

34-year-old Birmingham-born entrepreneur who built the business from scratch. Launching Lovey in 2016, Smith began with cold calls and taught himself digital marketing, accounting and systems configuration in order to build the foundations of the company. He remains the sole shareholder today.

Smith’s approach blends automation with a human touch.

While technology enables speed and efficiency, Lovey maintains a data-driven yet personal approach to ensure SMEs receive funding suited to their needs. He frequently describes small businesses as “the backbone of the economy” and views accessible finance as critical to their resilience and growth.

With sustained profitability, institutional debt backing and accelerating loan volumes, Lovey demonstrates that rapid expansion and operational discipline can coexist. As it continues to scale, the business is positioning itself not simply as a lender, but as a long-term partner to the UK’s SME community.

de Novo Solutions

What differentiates environmental consultancy Logika Group from others is its ability to translate consultancy into meaningful environmental and social change. It’s proving to be a winning proposition ➔ de-novo-solutions.com

2021

AS DIGITAL technology and Artificial Intelligence continue to evolve, de Novo Solutions, a pioneering Welsh technology company based in Langstone, Newport, is redefining the market for digital transformation for Finance, Procurement, HR, and Payroll, using Oracle Cloud and ServiceNow technology and through the creation of its own Industry Cloud Solutions.

Recognised as one of the UK’s fastest-growing companies with a sixth-place ranking in the Elite Business Top 100, de Novo, in the space of a few years, has built up an impressive client roster, including HM Treasury, Office for National Statistics, Ministry of Justice, Kent County Council, Swansea Council, and Harris Federation.

Founded in 2021, de Novo has quickly become a market-leader in the delivery of Oracle Cloud, helping businesses in both the Public and Private sectors transition with simplicity, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.

Newport

Technology

Its approach enables organisations to maximise their financial investment in cloud applications by reducing implementation complexity and operational costs.

In just four years, the company has grown from a small startup to a global player, expanding into India.

The cornerstone of the company’s growth plan are its Apprenticeship and Graduate programmes, set up in partnership with the University of South Wales to introduce fresh talent into the technology consulting industry.

Innovative cloud solutions

de Novo offers industry cloudbased solutions for Central Government, Local Government, Polica and the Education sector, including Multi-Academy Trusts, which empower enterprises to digitally transition from outdated, siloed systems to modern, efficient digital platforms with leading multi-channel business processes.

Among the company’s flagship products are:

• Odyssea™: A standout example

of de Novo’s innovation, a groundbreaking cloud-based solution tailored with industryspecific functionality. Built upon the powerful Oracle Cloud platform and leveraging AI, Odyssea™ empowers organisations to digitally transform while addressing their unique sector-specific demands.

Its unique implementation model addresses 80% of a client’s requirements through a templated blueprint, leaving the remaining 20% to be configured, ensuring faster deployment and a quicker return on investment.

• Value-as-a-Service™ (VaaS™): In the realm of managed services, de Novo’s Value-as-a-Service™ has redefined traditional Oracle

ELITE BUSINESS 100 - 2026

Cloud support. This nextgeneration proactive service delivers tailored, measurable outcomes, simplifying the complexities of cloud operations with continuous support, seamless updates, and proactive management. VaaS™ helps clients stay on track with their digital transformation journeys, enabling them to leverage cutting-edge technologies like Generative AI, while focusing on core business goals. By rigorously tracking value and assessing performance, VaaS™ ensures clients can confidently demonstrate ROI and make data-driven decisions.

In addition to these core offerings, de Novo provides a comprehensive suite of services to ensure seamless

cloud adoption and operational success. These include Testingas-a-Service™ (TaaS™), Cloud Readiness Assessments to prepare organisations for a smooth transition, Health Checks to optimise system performance, and Cloud Recovery Services to ensure rapid recovery for failing or stalled implementations. The company also offers extensive training services to ensure teams are equipped to maximise the potential of their cloud investments.

Looking to the future

de Novo is set to further expand its service offerings and global presence. Future plans include broadening the Odyssea™ platform by deepening AI integration while enhancing its delivery model to

stay agile and responsive to client needs. However, the company’s biggest strategic move is to use Odyssea™ to create its own state-of-the-art digital Shared Service to facilitate the complete outsourcing of an organisation’s HR, Payroll, Procurement and Finance operations. Work is already underway, and the company is forecasting that the new service will be fully available to customers by February 2027.

The company is also committed to growing its workforce and supporting the local economy in Wales, with a focus on talent development through apprenticeships and military leavers initiatives, as well as proactive support of the Neath Port Talbot regeneration project.

With its cutting-edge solutions and industry-leading partnerships, de Novo is well-positioned to continue its upward trajectory in the digital transformation space, supporting clients across the globe as they embrace the future of business technology.

HEADING TO THE CLOUD 88

ELITE BUSINESS 100 - 2026

Cloud technology has huge potential for SMEs, but many are still hesitant because of concerns about cost, complexity, and security. Mark Sweeny, Chief Executive of de Novo, talks to us about how his company’s tailored cloud solutions are helping SMEs embrace innovation, simplify their operations, and set themselves up for the future MARK SWEENY, Chief Executive and Founder of de Novo Solutions, is on a mission to transform how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) approach digital transformation.

In an era where cloud technology is rapidly reshaping business operations, Sweeny’s vision is all about empowering businesses to thrive in the experience economy through tailored, cost-effective Oracle Cloud and ServiceNow solutions.

Recognising the unique challenges that SMEs face - including budget constraints, resource limitations, and the need for scalable solutions - his approach is not just about promoting technology, it’s about creating a strategic partnership that drives growth and competitiveness.

Digital transformation is no longer a luxury for companies, but a necessity for survival and growth. de Novo aims to demystify the cloud and provide SMEs with the

tools they need to compete on a global scale.

The philosophy underpins its commitment to simplifying complex cloud journeys, ensuring that SMEs are not left behind in the digital age because they have hesitated due to doubts around cost, complexity or security.

“Those concerns are completely valid, and they’re the reason many SMEs hold back, along with a reluctance to spend money modernising the back office when customer-facing spend seems more important to a growing business,” Sweeny says.

Investing in the cloud

But for de Novo, of course, that challenge is also an opportunity.

“At de Novo, we’ve built our entire approach around making cloud adoption simple, cost-effective, and tailored to SMEs. Cloud isn’t an expense, it’s an investment that pays for itself over time.”

The firm’s approach focuses on addressing those perceived barriers which often deter SMEs from embracing cloud technology. By leveraging Oracle Cloud for finance, procurement, HR, and payroll, for instance, de Novo eliminates the hidden costs associated with outmoded legacy systems.

“You’re no longer sinking money into expensive servers, IT maintenance, security, and inefficient processes. With cloudbased solutions, you pay for what you use, scale when you need to, and free up resources to focus on growth, whilst continuously taking advantage of new innovations, like Artificial Intelligence,” Sweeny explains.

One of de Novo’s standout offerings is Odyssea™, an industryspecific cloud solution designed for Central Government, Local Government, and Education sectors.

“Odyssea™ is built upon the powerful Oracle Cloud platform and leverages AI to streamline back-office operations, allowing businesses to move faster with minimal disruption - 80% of the implementation is already templated, with the rest configured to meet your exact needs,” Sweeny explains.

Such a templated approach reduces complexity, making cloud adoption faster and more accessible for SMEs and unlocking long-term benefits of software-asa-service quickly.

Security is another critical area where de Novo has focused its resources, partnering with industry giants Oracle and ServiceNow. “With built-in encryption, realtime monitoring, and AI-driven threat detection, cloud security is stronger than ever,” Sweeny says.

The collaboration ensures enterprise-grade protection that is typically out of reach for most SMEs, alleviating security concerns and reinforcing cloud technology’s reliability.

89

ELITE BUSINESS 100 - 2026

Future-proofing

But beyond cost savings and enhanced security, Sweeny emphasises the strategic advantage of cloud technology: data empowerment.

“For us, it’s not just about helping companies move to the cloud—it’s about future-proofing them and unlocking the many opportunities that simply weren’t possible before by giving them access to their own organisational data. Cloud empowers people.”

One powerful example of its transformative potential is seen through de Novo’s work with a global concert production company.

“Their global finance operations were fragmented across disconnected legacy systems,” Sweeny recalls.

“Each of their finance systems was running in silos, which meant they had no clear visibility into costs, performance, or opportunities for growth.”

By optimising Oracle Cloud locally in the UK and then expanding it globally, de Novo delivered significant operational improvements.

“Automation reduced admin time by over 40%, freeing up their team to focus on strategy, not paperwork,” Sweeny says.

90

“Every new team member had to align with our mission of delivery excellence and transforming businesses through innovation” “Real-time insights helped leadership make smarter, faster decisions, improving cash flow and cost control. And integration across departments streamlined procurement and supplier management, reducing delays and inefficiencies.”

The project’s ongoing global implementation is expected to deliver a 30% improvement in operational efficiency, showcasing the cloud’s capacity to enhance scalability and competitive edge.

Strong culture

Reflecting on de Novo’s rapid growth - from a 10-person startup in 2021 to a thriving company with 140 employees - and the challenges that brings, Sweeny attributes much of the success to the people behind the business.

“One of the biggest challenges was hiring the right people - not just those with the right technical skills, but those who shared our vision and values,” he says.

To maintain that alignment, the firm prioritises culture and mindset over experience.

“Every new team member had to align with our mission of delivery excellence and transforming businesses through innovation, and demonstrate they have the right behaviours to be part of the #wearedenovo team from the outset.”

To keep up with growing demand, de Novo recently expanded its delivery model by opening an Innovation Centre in Chennai, India.

“Today 40 of our 140 people work in Chennai, and our expectation is we will grow this to 50 by the end of 2026, if not earlier,” Sweeny says, emphasising how the move supports continuous cloud solution advancements while maintaining quality standards.

Innovation remains at the heart of the firm’s expansion plan.

Launching solutions such as Odyssea™, Value-as-a-Service (VaaS™), and Testing-as-a-Service (TaaS™) has disrupted traditional cloud implementation models.

“These innovations empower organisations with cloud solutions personalised to their unique needs, moving away from the ‘one-sizefits-all’ mentality,” Sweeny explains.

The customer-centric approach has driven exponential growth, with demand for VaaS™ continuing to rise.

“Each of these milestones has reinforced our mission: to help businesses overcome barriers and scale beyond their limits, and we’re now supporting customers to do this not only in the UK, but also across North America, Asia Pacific and the Middle East.”

ELITE BUSINESS 100 - 2026

Making it personal

Customer satisfaction is not just a value but a strategic priority at de Novo.

“We are not just another IT provider - we partner with businesses to drive real outcomes, not just implement software,” Sweeny adds.

The company’s customer-first approach to innovation is grounded in real business needs, ensuring that every solution evolves to address emerging challenges.

“We keep things personal - our clients aren’t just numbers on a spreadsheet. We build long-term relationships, stay engaged, and continue adding value long after implementation.

“It’s so easy to focus on technology all the time, but technology is about enabling and empowering people – and having a passionate team who engage with our clients face-to-face is instrumental in cementing the longterm relationships which contribute to a sustainable business.”

Looking to the future, Sweeny sees a rapidly evolving technology landscape where AI, hyper-

personalisation, and modular cloud solutions will redefine how businesses operate. de Novo is already putting money into those areas to keep clients ahead of the curve.

“We’re currently investing heavily in AI-driven automation, industryspecific cloud solutions, and a more flexible, cost-effective delivery model to ensure our clients stay ahead of the competition,” Sweeny reveals.

Shared experience

As de Novo continues its global expansion, Sweeny’s vision remains focused on empowerment, innovation, and growth.

“Shared services are what brought me and several of the de Novo Executive Team to Wales 20 years ago when we built one of HM Government’s first Shared Services for HM Prison Service, and in doing so we created 500 new jobs.

“Twenty years on we have been approached several times by existing clients and the market, specifically Education - MultiAcademy Trusts - to see if we would

provide a complete outsourced bureau service. Admittedly today, we don’t need 500 people, as we can use the technology and advances in Artificial Intelligence provided by Oracle and ServiceNow to create a digital service end-toend.”

For SMEs navigating digital transformation, de Novo represents more than just a technology partner, it’s a strategic ally guiding them into the future.

With that being the case, he has advice for SME leaders on integrating cloud technology in a way that drives both immediate efficiency and long-term innovation.

“Start with your biggest pain points - where are you losing time, money, or visibility? Addressing those first delivers quick wins and immediate ROI. “Think long-term cloud isn’t just about cost savings, it’s about unlocking new capabilities like automation, AI, and data-driven decision-making. As a business, you don’t want to be constantly looking backwards. Cloud gives you the ability to access your data in real-time to inform decisionmaking and model future scenarios to help you to grow and adapt.

“Choose a partner, not just a provider - someone who understands the challenges SMEs face and can help you grow. Most importantly, choose people who enjoy what they do and are easy to work with - that's part of our reputation which we strive to maintain.”

The key to the right implementation of any technology solution is ensuring it is the right fit for your organisation and futureproofed against such rapidly changing tech development. The nature of cloud-based applications mitigates against much of that, but partnering with a company that knows the terrain and helps you stay quick on your feet in that regard is essential.

Coincidentally, that’s what de Novo is all about.

Another very strong finish this year bears ample testimony to that as quality again wins out Cotswold Fayre is the UK’s leading speciality and fine food wholesaler, supplying both independent and national retailers with exceptional products sourced from the very best producers. Now in our 27th year, we have grown from a small Cotswolds distribution hub into a nationally recognised sector leader.

We supply more than 2,000

retailers across the UK with over 5,000 ambient, chilled and frozen food and drink products, alongside selected pet, home and lifestyle ranges. Our consolidated “one order, one delivery, one invoice” model simplifies life for retailers while reducing food miles and carbon impact. In recent years, we have expanded significantly

Berkshire

Food & Drink, Wholesale and Retail

into national grocers and online retailers, while remaining firmly committed to our heartland of farm shops, garden centres, food halls and delicatessens.

Over 90% of our range is Britishmade, supporting UK farming and strengthening domestic supply chains. Where products cannot be produced here, we carefully source the finest options globally.

Many of our brands are exclusive to Cotswold Fayre within the independent sector, giving our customers genuine points of difference. We are particularly known for championing emerging

ELITE BUSINESS 100 - 2026

brands and working in true partnership with suppliers, sharing data insights and collaborating to drive sustainable growth.

Cotswold Fayre was founded by Paul Hargreaves, whose leadership has consistently championed purpose-driven business. As Chief Empowerment Officer, Paul is widely recognised as a leading voice within the speciality food sector and the broader B Corp community. Through his podcast, The Fourth Bottom Line, he interviews inspiring business leaders to explore how organisations can balance profit with purpose, people and planet.

His advocacy reinforces Cotswold Fayre’s belief that commercial success is not separate from positive impact — it enables it.

We were one of the first UK food wholesalers to certify as a B Corporation in 2015, embedding the principle of using business as

a force for good into our strategy.

Our influence continues to grow: from just six B Corp suppliers in 2019–20 to more than 90 today. We have been Carbon Neutral since 2019 and are committed to reaching Net Zero by 2030. More than 10% of wholesale profits are donated to charity each year, and sustainability goals are embedded into team KPIs

across the business.

Innovation remains central to our development. Around 50% of orders now flow through our live-stock website, supported by enhanced data tools including CoFI (Cotswold Fayre Insights), giving suppliers rare visibility into independent retail performance.

Our Dual Temperature delivery initiative combines chilled and frozen logistics to reduce minimum order barriers and lower emissions, while our frozen category has grown rapidly in response to customer demand.

Alongside wholesale, our retail and hospitality sites at Flourish Glenavon Farm (opened 2021) and Flourish Farleigh Road (opened 2024) demonstrate our commitment to vertical integration, product innovation and sustainable retail. These sites act as living showcases for our brands and strengthen our understanding of the evolving retail landscape.

Today, Cotswold Fayre combines commercial growth with genuine purpose — proving that profitability, innovation and positive impact can thrive together.

Must Have Ideas A holiday generated idea, because of an antibacterial sponge, has since evolved into a diverse range of kitchen, cleaning, storage and garden products. Must Have Ideas clearly has the right ideas ➔ musthaveideas.co.uk

96

IT WAS WHILE on holiday in the USA in 2018 that Amy Knight had a chance encounter with an antibacterial silicone sponge.

Instantly recognising its potential, Amy, her husband Rob Knight, and their friend Chris Finch collectively contributed £3,000 to purchase 1,000 units — and thus Must Have Ideas was born.

Fast forward seven years and what started out as packing orders on the dining room table has grown into a thriving business that now employs over 200 staff and has served more than 10 million customers to date.

But Must Have Ideas doesn’t just sell products — they sell unique solutions to everyday problems.

Relying heavily on the power of social media advertising (their Meta ad spend is over £2 million a month), each product must pass rigorous tests before it comes to market. It must be unique and clearly demonstrable. As they

ELITE BUSINESS 100 - 2026

say, if you can find it at your local supermarket, then it probably isn’t for them.

With a diverse range of kitchen, cleaning, storage and garden products, totalling over 200 lines, Must Have Ideas’ motto, ‘Discover Something New’, reflects a commitment to bringing fresh solutions to old problems.

In the aggressively competitive world of online retail, Must Have Ideas’ success relies on a winning combination of product innovation, world-class customer service and building a fiercely loyal online community of almost 1 million followers across social media platforms.

Being family-run, the founders are fiercely dedicated to delivering ‘good old-fashioned’ customer service, and their in-house team is highly trained and empowered to take whatever action is necessary

2018

150

to keep customers happy. Must Have Ideas proudly stands by three key promises: delivery within two days or the order is free, a simple returns process, and a 100-day money-back guarantee.

It’s this customer-centric philosophy that has been so crucial in delivering a smooth shopping experience. Determined to make every purchase feel personal, Must Have Ideas’ highly creative team invests a great deal of time carefully crafting detailed stories for each product, with captivating step-by-step demo videos (think teleshopping channels and infomercials for the internet age).

This, coupled with immersive, non-traditional long-form landing pages, means products are showcased in a way that goes far beyond simply listing features — customers know exactly what they’re buying and how it works

Kent

Consumer / Lifestyle

before they commit to purchase.

This transparency has helped build a strong online presence.

In 2024, Must Have Ideas furthered its reach with its most ambitious project to date — the launch of its pioneering AI-driven teleshopping channel. Filmed entirely within their own on-site studio, MHI TV represented a major leap forward for the business.

To navigate the astronomical costs and manpower traditionally associated with running a live teleshopping channel, eightminute product segments are pre-recorded, scheduled and stitched together to form different programmes using pioneering, selfdeveloped technology — a first for the shopping channel industry.

As well as expanding its reach and unlocking a completely new audience — one that spends its time offline — this represented the realisation of a personal ambition long harboured by the three founders, who have never been afraid to think big.

By staying true to traditional customer needs while embracing new technologies and new ways of thinking, Must Have Ideas is poised to expand its reach even further, redefining the shopping experience while setting a new standard for the future of ecommerce.

Having recently served its 10 millionth customer and currently relocating to a new 250,000 square foot, state-of-the-art distribution centre in Aylesford, Kent, 2026 promises to be another exciting year for Must Have Ideas and its team.
