Companies celebrate ‘inspiration’ accolade

Nutritional ingredient supplier Cambridge Commodities and Cornelius Group, an independent European distributor of high quality and innovative raw materials and ingredients, have been identified as two of London Stock Exchange’s ‘1000 Companies to Inspire Britain’. The report is a celebration of the UK’s fastest growing and most dynamic small and medium sized businesses.

To be included in the list, companies needed to show consistent revenue growth over a minimum of three years, significantly outperforming their industry peers.

James Stevens, managing director of Cambridge Commodities, says, “We are thrilled to have been named as one of the 1,000 companies to inspire Britain. We’ve worked incredibly hard to develop the business over the past few years, entering new markets and increasing our service offering in line with customer demand.

“We provide our clients with creative product applications for on trend ingredients, enabling them to be the first to market. Having recently moved to a brand new building, we are excited at the prospect of entering the next stage of growth.”

Dr Neville Prior, chairman and CEO at Cornelius, comments, “It is a great honour to be recognised by the London Stock Exchange as one of the country’s most inspiring companies for the second time.

“Cornelius is going from strength to strength here and overseas and we are focused on delivering high quality materials and ingredients that our customers require for their products. Combined with an excellent level of customer service, everyone at Cornelius is committed to ensuring that we stand out as a company to do business with.”

Xavier Rolet, chief executive of the London Stock Exchange Group, adds, “High growth SMEs are the driving force behind the UK economy, developing the skills, jobs and growth we need. But ambition alone is not enough; their success must be highlighted and their growth properly supported with appropriate finance.”
