We’re proud to share that Concept Recruitment was once again recognised in the Wakefield Top 100 Companies list in 2025, marking our second consecutive year being included in this prestigious ranking.
Following our initial inclusion in 2024, this continued recognition reflects the strength, resilience, and consistency of our business, as well as our ongoing contribution to the Wakefield economy and wider business community.
About the Wakefield Top 100 Companies
The Wakefield Top 100 Companies initiative is a collaborative project between Wakefield First, the University of Huddersfield, and the 3M Buckley Innovation Centre. Published annually by Huddersfield Business School, the list highlights the district’s leading businesses and promotes Wakefield as a thriving location for innovation, investment, and sustainable growth.
Companies are assessed using consistent and objective measures, including:
-
Turnover
-
Profitability
-
Employee numbers
-
Business growth
These metrics are sourced from the Bureau Van Dijk FAME database, ensuring a robust and transparent evaluation of business performance and economic impact.
Strengthening the Wakefield Business Community
The Wakefield Top 100 initiative exists to do more than recognise success. Its wider objectives include:
-
Strengthening collaboration across the Wakefield business community
-
Creating prestige and meaningful networking opportunities for Top 100 members
-
Improving coordination between major regional institutions and leading employers
-
Encouraging engagement with local talent, education, skills development, and innovation initiatives
