Inc. magazine has ranked James and James at 1,688 on its annual Inc. 5000 the most prestigious ranking of Europe’s fastest-growing private companies.

The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the European economy’s most dynamic segment – its independent businesses. Companies such as Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first exposure as honourees of the Inc. 5000.

The 2017 Inc. 5000 was unveiled online at Inc.com, with the top 5,000 companies featured in the February issue of Inc. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 433%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $200 billion, and the companies on the list collectively generated 640,000 jobs over the past three years, or about 8% of all jobs created in the entire economy during that period.

Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000eu/list/2017/.

“The Inc. 5000 list stands out where it really counts,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “It honors real achievement by a founder or a team of them. No one makes the Inc. 5000 without building something great – usually from scratch. That’s one of the hardest things to do in business, as every company founder knows. But without it, free enterprise fails.”
