High flyers from the Nottinghamshire business community attended a breakfast to mark the Nottinghamshire Live Top 200 Companies list for 2022.
The event, which took place at the Nottingham Business School at Nottingham Trent University, marked the online publication of the annual listing of the city and county’s biggest companies by turnover.
The annual list was overseen by the business team at the university, and was sponsored this year by Pattersons Commercial Law.
The results paint a picture of how the local economy is faring – with figures lifted from Companies House accounts for the period leading up to and during the pandemic.
The combined income of the 10 biggest Nottinghamshire businesses stands at a not inconsiderable £22.26 billion.
Together they employ in the region of 122,500 people – many of them working right here in the county.
Natalie Fahy, editor of the Nottingham Post and Nottinghamshire Live, said: "Lots of businesses have grown in ways they would never have expected and faced difficult decisions over where their resources should go.
"This list is a special one, in fact it's more than just a list, because we know how hard the last two years have been and what it's taken to get here."
