“The Sunday Times 100 is our new-look annual celebration of the UK’s entrepreneurial achievements. The founders of these exciting businesses are vital job creators and innovators. The top 100 have all performed exceptionally during the pandemic and show how some companies used the change to consumer and work habits to their advantage.”
