UK architectural panels supplier Vivalda Group has been recognised in a prestigious Financial Times list.

The company was ranked 110 in FT's 1,000-strong list of Europe's fastest growing, innovative businesses in 2019.

The FT100 is compiled annually by the respected newspaper with help from Statista, the research organisation.

Vivalda, which includes the Pura Facades brand, achieved a total revenue increase of 1,046% (2014-2017), creating 83 new jobs in the process.


Based on a 2017 revenue of £37.3m, the business is ranked 7th among the 80 construction companies that achieved a listing in the respected FT report and top in the UK.

Peter Johnson, chairman of Vivalda Group, said: "While we all know the old saying; lies, damned lies and statistics; it's good to be flying the flag for the UK as the highest ranking British construction sector business in the list.

"This is more than just a numbers game – and these figures reflect the hard work and dedication of our people, who are truly committed to great customer service and supporting architects and contractors with new ways of solving problems. We pride ourselves on our innovation and high customer satisfaction levels."
