News: Rotherham firms flying the flag
Leading Rotherham companies are amongst the mid-market firms that are driving growth in the region, according to the Yorkshire Report 2016, published by accountancy and business advisory firm BDO LLP.
Illustrating trends in the financial performance of selected companies, the report highlights that mid-market companies in Yorkshire created 21,000 new jobs last year. Turnover was up 4% to £106.2bn compared to 6.9% the previous year but overseas turnover saw a worrying 11% drop compared to a 7.7% increase the previous year. Operating profits were up 8% to £4.8bn.
The report analyses the financial performance of the top 250 companies by turnover in the Yorkshire region. Analysis is split between the 50 largest organisations and the next 200 mid-market businesses.
Mid-market companies are driving the growth in the region with the top 200 companies vastly outperforming the largest 50 firms. Their profitability soared by 200% to £861m, based on a 10% increase to £24.4bn in turnover. The top 50 managed just a 2% increase in turnover.

Jason Whitworth, M&A partner at BDO in Yorkshire, described the mid-market firms as "Yorkshire's unsung heroes." He added: "Whilst there are many bright spots for businesses, there's no denying we continue to face challenging and uncertain times. However, businesses should not allow this to curb their ambitions and we should all pull together to grasp today's opportunities that could deliver significant growth in the future.
"What emerges from this year's Yorkshire Report is a picture of a bustling ecosystem that is well placed to take advantage of the opportunities presented by devolution. However the challenge remains that both politicians and business leaders need to unite to ensure that those opportunities are not missed, so that the region can continue to play its part in the Northern Powerhouse."
50 of the 250 where from South Yorkshire, which had a collective operating profit of £479m.
