Revenue: £121.1m (+16%)
Headcount: 193
Arguably possessing fingers in more pies than anyone else in this report, this Basingstoke-based outfit’s seven brands comprise Centerprise International, Adam Continuity, Centiant, YOYOTech, Ci Distribution (the MD of which, Jon Atherton is pictured above), CiCloud and Ci Recycling. Revenues bounced 16% to £121.1m in its year to 31 August 2022. A hike in sales from distribution and aged stock provision saw gross margins fall from 15.6% to 11.9%, while net profits slid from £2.4m to £1.6m.
Oxygen ice-breaker: The hybrid group kicked off 2023 with a visit from Welsh Minister Rebecca Evans to its new £6m IT operations centre in Caerphilly, which Centerprise says will generate at least 70 new jobs in the region.
