The Elite Business 100 top UK SMEs

The Elite Business (EB) official ranking of the UK's most outstanding SMEs is finally unveiled.

The EB100 stands as a platform for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) nationwide to gain the recognition they truly merit, honouring their excellence within the SME community.

Dedicated to supporting fantastic smaller-scale businesses, Elite Business not only releases the official league table but also distributes a digital guide across the UK. Additionally, EB100 organises an annual awards event for all those featured, set to take place this year at the Leonardo Royal, St Paul’s, London on the 13th March.

The EB100 celebrates the top-performing SME businesses in Britain that have shown resilience and determination in a fluctuating market environment, demonstrating sustained growth and market presence. These companies are lauded for their exceptional service and consistent delivery to their customers and clients.

This year's entries were evaluated by a panel of 30 industry experts, including business journalist Lucy Tobin, serial entrepreneur Flavilla Fongang, and CEO Shaa Wasmund MBE.

“The EB100 really is the benchmark for success in SMEs,” Shaa commented. “We’re blessed in the UK to have so many remarkable companies doing great work in their respective communities. Finding the winner was a massive challenge, believe me!”

Echoing these sentiments, Scott English, Brand Director of Elite Business, added: “Just having your business appear on the EB100 is a significant achievement. It’s a massively competitive field, so choosing a winner is an almost impossible task. This year the standards are higher than ever, so the judges certainly had their work cut out for them.”

However, the competition leads to only one ultimate winner.

The top five positions in the EB100 are awarded to:

  1. Vivup
  2. Cotswold Fayre
  3. myenergi
  4. Furniturebox
  5. MLabs

As the foremost winner of the EB100 2024, Vivup will be awarded a comprehensive hospitality package from Club Wembley, the official sponsor of EB100. This package includes access to a premium private box at Wembley Stadium, to enjoy an England International game, complete with full catering for Vivup CEO Simon Moyle and SEVEN of his senior management team.

“We can’t promise an England win, but we can guarantee first-class service and an unbeatable view,” said Chris Crouch, Club Wembley Senior Sales & Business Development Manager.

Additionally, the winner will receive an AdSmart TV campaign valued at £25k, provided by AdSmart from Sky.

“We’re excited to help Vivup get the attention they deserve after all their hard work,” expressed David Sanderson, Director of AdSmart from Sky. “They’ve certainly earned it!”
