Wakefield Top 100 2026/27 Companies revealed
The Wakefield Top 100 Companies initiative aims to help shine a light on the fantastic businesses of Wakefield, promoting the district as a place to do business with unrivalled investment and growth opportunities.
The initiative is a joint project between Wakefield First as part of Wakefield Council, University of Huddersfield, and 3M Buckley Innovation Centre (3M BIC) and is designed to celebrate and measure business growth across the region.
Published annually every spring, the list is compiled by Huddersfield Business School, using a set of consistent metrics that include a combination of turnover, profit, employee numbers and growth. The data is derived from published company accounts of locally registered firms drawn from the Bureau Van Dijk - FAME database.
We are proud to present the Top 3 Companies in the Wakefield Top 100 for 2026–2027!
As a founding partner of this initiative, we are delighted to celebrate the high-performing businesses driving investment, innovation, and economic growth across the Wakefield District.
