For the eighth consecutive year, GP Bullhound is spotlighting the Northern tech ecosystem, recognising the innovative companies on the frontline of the region\u2019s success<\/strong>. To qualify for entry to the Top 100, firms must have at least three years of revenue growth with a minimum revenue level of \u00a3500k in 2018<\/strong>. 

Software and Digital Services<\/strong> emerge as the dominant sectors in the list, accounting for 73% of the Top 100 companies, an increase from 67% in 2020. This trend is particularly pertinent in the North West, with representation rising from 57% in 2020 to 75% in 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hugh Campbell, Managing Partner at GP Bullhound commented:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom the North East to Manchester and Leeds on either side of the Pennines – the North has now cemented its position as a major player on the UK tech scene. It is fantastic to see our Northern region thriving, as a result of the pool of fantastic talent, investment and ambition across the region. It is home to some of the most thriving tech hubs in the UK and must not be neglected – it will be a crucial cog in the engine for the UK\u2019s post-pandemic recovery. This is why it is so important that we continue to recognise, invest and celebrate the ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
