The London Stock Exchange (LSE) has named 25 real estate companies in its annual report of the fastest-growing and most dynamic small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) across the UK.
To be selected for the list, the RO demonstrated not only
positive growth in revenue over the last three years, but also strong sector
performance.
Xavier Rolet, chief executive of the LSE is quoted as
saying:
"Four years on, LSEG’s ‘1000 Companies to Inspire Britain’
report continues to highlight the dynamic, entrepreneurial and ambitious
businesses across the country that are boosting UK productivity, driving
economic growth and creating jobs. The strength and diversity of these
companies is readily apparent with a broad mix of UK regions and sectors
represented. These companies are the very heart of an ‘antifragile’ economy:
more robust, more flexible and less prone to boom and bust. We must ensure we
continue doing all we can to support high growth potential businesses like
these."
Edward Rowlandson, Group Managing Director of the RO said:
"It is an honour for the RO to be included in such an
important report on the businesses driving growth and jobs in the UK. The RO is
a long established family business with a philosophy of being always ‘In
business to do business’. We are
involved in a diverse range of real estate activities and with a highly
experienced and committed team in place, we are continually looking for the
next opportunity to create value."
