B&V, one of the UK’s leading legionella control and water treatment companies, has been praised for weathering the economic storm and is tipped to form the backbone of Britain’s recovery, according to The Telegraph.
The report was compiled with the help of Nesta, the innovation agency, and business information specialist Dun & Bradstreet.
The companies, whose annual sales are between £5m and £50m, collectively generate more than £50bn in sales and have all shown resilience during the recession.
Most of The Telegraph companies named increased sales and employment between 2009 and 2011, including B&V, which last year saw a turnover of close to £7m.
Simon Ward, MD of B&V, the trading name of Global Chemical Technologies, the name listed in The Telegraph report, said: “We’ve nearly doubled our workforce in the past four years and are on target to increase year-on-year profits by 12% this year.
“We are fairly unique within the industry for our consistent R&D to ensure we develop new products and services with a focus on technology and environmental impacts. Our investment in technical support for our UK and international customers has paid dividends.”
The company recently hit the headlines when it designed a top secret product that kills legionella bacteria with the BBC’s The Apprentice winner Tom Pellereau.
