"This service is all about helping sales teams to work smarter, " said David Pattison, Plimsoll's senior research analyst. "The point of the analysis is to build a client base of high calibre companies with outstanding future prospects."

Over the last two years, these 60 companies have increased sales by a minimum of 5%, ensuring instant extra business for their suppliers, while 32 of them have also maintained a healthy balance sheet so credit terms should be guaranteed. For 18 of these companies, this is their 3rd year of consecutive growth, says Plimsoll.

The full analysis contains a five year financial profile of every company. It also gives the principle trading address, telephone number, key decision makers and website address.

Copies of the full analysis are available from Plimsoll Publishing Ltd, priced at £350 including package and posting.
