The SME 100, now in its second year, has two new sponsors – VitalSix and Sun Mark. They have joined Santander and Haines Watts in supporting the SME 100, with our new list being unveiled in the November 2012 issue.
Sun Mark is run by Dr Rami Ranger, MBE, who will be familiar to many readers of The Business Magazine as one of the Thames Valley’s greatest entrepreneurs. As a multiple winner of the Queen’s Award, Sun Mark knows all about business success and building global markets.
VitalSix is run by Susan Elliott, formerly the head of the Innovation & Growth Team in the Thames Valley. Its focus is fast-rising SMEs and the organisation will be tapping into SMEs that are on an accelerating path to growth.
The Legal 500, the directory of law firms, will be spotlighted in our October issue. The comprehensive guide to the legal profession is celebrating its 25th anniversary, and our feature section will be eagerly anticipated by law firms in the Thames Valley. To book your participation, email Tanya Thomas at
