Core offering

Growth Index publishes an independent annual ranking of the UK's 100 fastest-growing companies, ranked by two-year revenue CAGR using verified Companies House financial data analyzed across 30,000+ UK companies. The companion Retail Index ranks the UK's fastest-growing retail and consumer companies. Rankings are distributed as downloadable reports via sign-up, supported by the GX Alumni community for listed firms, editorial Insights content, and exclusive CEO/founder events, with revenue generated through report and event sponsorships.

Product overview

Growth Index operates as an independent annual rankings publication for the UK's fastest-growing companies. The core offering consists of two annual rankings: the Growth Index (covering all sectors of the British economy) and the Retail Index (focused on retail and consumer companies), both ranked purely by two-year revenue CAGR. These rankings are distributed through downloadable reports and supported by the GX Alumni community for listed companies. Additional offerings include sponsorship partnerships and editorial insights content covering the founders and companies featured in the indices.

Broad incumbents

• PitchBook: Private market data and research provider used by investors to benchmark and rank growth companies. Comparable in serving the 'investor benchmarking UK high-growth companies' use case but at vastly greater scale and as a paid research/SaaS platform.
• Sifted: European tech and growth-business media outlet publishing sector rankings, newsletters and events for founders and investors. Broader in geographic and topical scope than Growth Index but competes for the same thought-leadership and sponsor mindshare.
• The Telegraph Top 1000: Annual Sunday Times / Telegraph league tables ranking Britain's private companies by growth. Functions as a larger, more established competitor in the UK growth-ranking category with stronger media distribution.
• Crunchbase: Global platform for company growth, funding and ranking data, including curated lists of fastest-growing companies. Comparable as a data-driven growth-intelligence platform but operates globally and as SaaS rather than as a UK-focused annual publication.
• Tech Nation (Founders Forum / Tech Nation Reports): UK tech ecosystem organisation that has produced sector league tables and reports on the UK's fastest-growing tech companies. Overlaps with Growth Index's audience of founders, investors and sponsors in the technology segment.

Others

• Real Deals: UK and European private equity media title publishing rankings (e.g. Real Deals PE100) and editorial content for the PE industry. Adjacent peer serving the same investor audience and running comparable sponsored rankings and events.
• The Business Magazine / Business Insider UK: Mainstream and business media outlets that regularly publish UK growth rankings, sector league tables and sponsored lists. Indirect peer in the UK business-media and sponsored-rankings ecosystem that Growth Index operates in.

Direct peers

• Startups 100 (Startups.co.uk): Annual UK ranking of the most promising startup and growth-stage companies published by Startups.co.uk. Direct competitor for the same audience of founders, investors and sponsors, with a similar sponsored league-table format.
• Beauhurst: UK-focused data platform tracking high-growth and high-potential private companies, frequently used to compile growth rankings and inform investment decisions. Closely comparable in data-driven approach to identifying and ranking UK growth companies, though distributed as a SaaS product rather than an annual publication.
• Sunday Times Fast Track (Virgin Media Fast Track 100 / Tech Track 100): The most established UK league table of fastest-growing private companies, ranked on revenue growth. Direct functional equivalent to Growth Index — same product (annual ranking of UK high-growth companies), same buyer base (founders, investors, sponsors) and same sponsored report/media model.
