December 2013 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Mimecast was named by the London Stock Exchange (LSE) as one of its 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain in a landmark independent research report looking across all industry sectors in the UK economy. Mimecast was profiled in the report and is one of just over 100 tech sector firms nationwide to be listed.
1000 Companies to Inspire Britain is a celebration of some of the fastest growing and most dynamic small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in the UK. As well as identifying 1,000 companies, the publication examines in detail the opportunities and challenges facing SMEs, and looks at the sectors and trends that will shape the future of the UK economy.
The report was compiled and audited by Growth Intelligence, a UK software company specialising in monitoring the real-time data footprint of UK companies. To be considered for inclusion in the report, companies had to meet a range of criteria. These included being UK based, having a turnover of between £6-250 million in the last 12 months and a minimum of three years in operation. Companies had to demonstrate not only a positive growth in revenue over the last four years, but also an increase in employee numbers, workspace, contract wins or patent filings.
