Charles Wells Ltd placed in league for Top 250 Private Companies
27th October 2011
Bedford-based brewery and pub operator, Charles Wells Ltd has once again earned a place on the Sunday Times HSBC Top Track 250 league of Britain’s leading mid-market private companies published on 16 October.
The parent company to Bedford-based Wells and Young’s Brewing Company and Charles Wells Pub Company secured position 151 by generating a turnover of over £230million, up from £227million in 2010. Charles Wells is one of just 76 family-owned companies to make the list, with the fifth generation of the Wells family still operating the business.
Following the announcement, chief executive of Charles Wells Ltd, Paul Wells said:
“This has been a busy year for the company. We are really proud to have achieved this position and increase our turnover in a challenging market. Since last October, we have invested six figure sums in a number of pubs, launched the groundbreaking ‘Bang on!’ Bombardier campaign, purchased the Young’s owned 40% stake in Wells and Young’s making the business 100% owned, and acquired the iconic Scottish McEwan’s and Younger’s beers.”
Charles Wells Ltd is one of 54 companies in the South East on the league, turning over £15.3billion in the UK economy, employing 94,000 people. The Sunday Times HSBC Top Track 250 league table ranks Britain’s biggest mid-market private companies by latest sales. It complements The Sunday Times Top Track 100 league table of Britain’s biggest private companies, and lists the next 101 to 350 biggest firms. Companies are ranked by sales reported in their latest accounts. Sales must not exceed £500m which is the size of the 100th-ranked company on the Top Track 100.
