Benson Group among Europe’s fastest growing companies.
Simeon Goldstein, February 10, 2011
Carton printer Benson Group has been named as one of the fastest-growing companies in Europe at the European Growth Summit.
The ‘Europe’s 500’ award is designed to honour the top-growth companies from across the continent for generating growth and jobs. Benson features 122 on a list of the 200 fastest-growing, job-creating businesses from a wide range of market sectors including construction, IT and retail.
Former German chancellor Gerhard Schröder presented the award to chairman Andrew Benson (right) at a ceremony last week.
“It is especially pleasing to receive the award as we are a UK-based manufacturing company in a list dominated by service industries,” said Benson. "This certificate helps illustrate how far we have come as a business in recent years and the honour is certainly one that our whole team can take pride in.”
The 200 companies on the list created almost 28,600 jobs between 2007 and 2009 and have a total turnover of €37.6bn.
