Cambridgeshire Limited 2022 has been compiled using the most recent publicly available accounts (as at November 2022) of the county’s 100 largest companies (based on turnover) which have their principal place of business and management in Cambridgeshire. The results are derived from the latest available accounts and compared on a like for like basis.
The survey excludes companies that are owned by overseas companies or where management and strategic decision makers are based outside the county. This approach provides a more accurate picture of the wealth creation and importantly, the retention and re-investment of profits in Cambridgeshire. This is fundamental to the continued success of the local economy. We have excluded ‘not for profit’ organisations, due to the purpose of these entities.
Who made the list?
Now in its tenth year, Cambridgeshire Limited, prepared by financial and business advisers Grant Thornton gives a unique insight into the performance of the Cambridgeshire business community.

Cambridgeshire’s Top 100 companies
Our Top 100 list is compiled using the most recent publicly available accounts as at November 2022 and is based on those businesses which are both owned and managed within the county.
AstraZeneca Plc is an organisation with a turnover of over £27.6bn. The scale of this organisation means that its inclusion would have a disproportionate impact on the analysis and so as in previous years, we have decided to exclude it from the analysis. However it retains its number one position in the index
