11 EG Group, Blackburn
Founded by billionaire brothers Mohsin and Zuber Issa, EG Group is one of the world’s leading independent convenience retailers, with an extensive network of sites across nine international markets including the US, Europe and Australia. The group has been based in their home town of Blackburn for almost a quarter of a century as they worked to turn it into a global business, starting with one petrol station in Bury.
Mohsin became the sole chief executive following the sale of part of the group to brother Zuber, which has since become EG on The Move. The group is now led by New York City-based Russ Colaco, who took over the role of chief executive last April. The business also announced that its group headquarters is being relocated to Charlotte in North Carolina where key financial, legal and other corporate personnel will be based. In parallel with that work, the group’s European Share Service Centre is also being moved down the A666 to Bolton.

Big 20 Rules of Engagement: PM+M compiled a table of the top 20 companies in Lancashire ranked by a) profit and b) turnover. Figures were compiled using the latest data publicly available with additional research based on the accounts filed at Companies House.
To be included companies had to be based in the administrative county of Lancashire plus Blackburn with Darwen and Blackpool. The business must either be headquartered or have a major operation in Lancashire. Where the parent and subsidiary company were shortlisted, the parent consolidated entity was included, and the subsidiary company excluded.
Shortlisted companies were reviewed by a panel comprising of PM+M and Lancashire Business View. The decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into. The league table is based on historical data and may not reflect individual companies and current performance. Neither PM+M nor Lancashire Business View endorse, guarantee, or recommend any of the named companies.
Exclusions: companies that had not filed updated since the Big 20 was researched in 2025, companies filing accounts showing more than 18 months activity LANCASHIREBUSINES SV
