Electrical and cookware distributor, EPE International has been recognised in the fifth edition of the London Stock Exchange Group’s 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain report. The report identifies the UK’s fastest-growing and most dynamic small and medium sized businesses. To be included in the list, companies needed to show consistent revenue growth over a minimum of three years, significantly outperforming their industry peers.
EPE’s continued growth is reflected in its recent purchase of a new warehouse unit in Bradford. As well as acquiring the bigger premises, the company is expanding its staff across different business functions, and is reviewing opportunities for strategic acquisitions.
EPE has experienced fast growth since launching in 2003 when it began with two staff (in contrast to 60 members of staff currently and a turnover of more than £20 million).
* EPE is showing its many brands (which include De’Longhi, Russell Hobbs and Kenwood) at Autumn Fair (Hall X).
