Town and Country Petfoods has been named one of the country’s most inspiring businesses by the London Stock Exchange. 

                                                               Town and Country Petfoods Managing Director Tony Parkinson and Sales and Marketing Director Peter Parkinson

The firm, which produces the HiLife brand of dog and cat food, has been recognised in the latest edition of the London Stock Exchange’s ‘1,000 Companies to Inspire Britain’ report, which celebrates the country’s fastest-growing and most dynamic small and medium sized businesses.

To secure a position in the list, companies must show consistent revenue growth over a minimum of three years, significantly outperforming their industry peers.

Based in Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, Town and Country Petfoods is a family owned and run business and its HiLife products are available in national supermarkets such as Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose, as well as independent pet stores and online. 

Managing director Tony Parkinson said: 

“To be recognised by an organisation as prestigious as the London Stock Exchange is a real honour. 

“The petfood market is highly competitive and this recognition is down to the hard work of all our team members, whether it is creating innovative new products or working tirelessly to help keep retailers’ shelves stocked.”

Xavier Rolet, Chief Executive, London Stock Exchange Group said: 

“High growth SMEs are the driving force behind the UK economy, developing the skills, jobs and growth we need. But ambition alone is not enough; their success must be highlighted and their growth properly supported with appropriate finance. That’s why this event is so important: demonstrating the strong alliance between UK Government, financial market participants, investors, entrepreneurs and companies to support these inspiring businesses.

“The celebration is fundamental to London Stock Exchange’s core, the need to support UK high growth companies in their journeys from Start-up to Stardom and create an entrepreneurship revolution.”

Writing in the publication, The Rt. Hon. George Osborne MP said:

“UK high-growth businesses are leading the charge in rebuilding our economy. These companies are the backbone of the British economy. They create high-quality, well paid jobs, innovate and drive economic growth. This government fully understands the need to support ambitious entrepreneurs and ensure they can access the finance they need to grow.

“We have held the steadfast belief that –alongside deficit reduction – nurturing entrepreneurs, creating jobs, supporting hard-working families and keeping taxes low would get the UK economy back on track. Our measures to increase access to finance for business and encourage more investment have had a transformative effect on our economy.”
