WELCOME to the landing page for this year's Gloucestershire's Top 100 Businesses 2009, the 32-page colour supplement published in The Citizen and Gloucestershire Echo newspapers. The chore of the publication is a double page table detailing those companies in the county with the highest turnover, as well as featuring the number of staff they employ within the county and the sector they operate in.

This year we're also hosting the supplement here on www.southwestbusiness.co.uk using page-turning software which will allow you to read through each article.

We have also introduced a Google map to help you locate just where each of the featured businesses has its headquarters.

I hope you enjoy this year's Top 100 and find the on-line additions useful.

Andrew Merrell, online business editor.
