DCA ranked as one of UK’s top private companies in International Track 100

The Sunday Times International Track 100, published on 8th May, ranks Britain’s top private companies with the fastest-growing international sales over the last two years.

'We are hugely pleased to be listed in this survey again and to be one of only a handful of company’s still to rank in the Top 100 from the previous year. On top of this to have improved our position from 93rd last year to 58th this year is a massive achievement, reflective of the value that our overseas clients place on the design and development work that we do for them and the hard work put in by all the team here at DCA," comments Rob Woolston, DCA’s Managing Director and Head of the Medical and Scientific sector.

The 100 companies increased exports by an average of 91% over the last two years, to a total of £1.6bn. They employ more than 21,000 staff, having added nearly 6,600 jobs over the same period.

There are nine companies in the Midlands compared to eight last year, including DCA, who have made a significant contribution to the regional economy over the last two years. During this time, they have added 1785 jobs, and now employ a total of 2,471 people. Their combined sales are £588m, and their international sales have grown by an average of 105% a year, over two years, to a total of £360m.

As one of a breed of businesses breaking down national trade boundaries, the league table lists DCA’s international sales growth as averaging 68% over the two year assessment period.
