Business Live online news platform. It will help to promote the region and help
make it more successful. Everyone can join the base of people who want the East Midlands to become more resilient and competitive. The Index was planned in late 2019, when
business disruption from Brexit was envisaged but coronavirus was unheard of. Since the effects of the Covid-19 lockdown
have been felt across the region, understanding the business baseline for economic recovery is of curial importance. The index is one, important dataset within this. The Top 500 is based on historic data from
Companies House accounts submitted between July 2017 and June 2018. It will be updated yearly. It includes companies with their registered
offices located in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire. All these businesses have already been included in the ‘Top 200 Companies’ 2019 for Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire. It excludes public sector organisations, and
companies with operations in the East Midlands which are subsidiaries or have their registered offices elsewhere. While such organisations are major employers,
their ownership, governance and strategic decision-making is more likely to be based outside the region. The East Midlands Top 500 Businesses Index
was produced by Rachel English, Professor David Rae and doctoral researchers Deji Olagboye and Ngozi Eneh Ojo from De Montfort University, Alexandra Charles and Marc Cowling from the University of Derby, and Will Rossiter from Nottingham Trent University, working in partnership with Reach Media and East Midlands Chamber. Chamber Chief Executive Scott Knowles said:
“This new index includes an impressive roster of businesses and highlights the strength in depth that the business community in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire has, with many of the UK’s best-known employers calling the East Midlands home. “But when you look down the list, it becomes
clear that it’s not just the biggest, most high- profile businesses that make our economy tick. “There are myriad smaller but no less important businesses which provide much of the employment, skills and innovation that this region is famed for.”
