UK passenger boarding ramp manufacturer Aviramp has been named in The Sunday Times 100 as one of Britain’s fastest-growing private companies.
The listing comes after Aviramp enjoyed a “wonderful year” in 2024.
Graham Corfield, the company’s chief executive, said being included in the Sunday Times’ list was the “icing on the cake” after a period of success.
“This is an amazing achievement for a fabulous team here at Aviramp,” he said.
“Our growth over the past three years has been nothing short of remarkable, particularly when you consider how the pandemic effectively shut down aviation for so long.
“We took that time to invest in research and development, bringing new solar-powered ramps to market which have proved to be hugely successful.
“We now have some 850 ramps in use at airports around the world, with new orders coming in all the time.”
Corfield added that 2025 “looks as if it will be even better than 2024”.
He said: “Our order book is extremely healthy, and we have new products to launch which are already starting to raise a tremendous amount of interest in the industry.
“Our success is all down to the fantastic team we have and their unwavering commitment to making Aviramp the best in the world at what it does. I cannot praise them enough.”
The Sunday Times 100 ranks Aviramp at 68 in the 2025 list and said the company has enjoyed annual sales growth of 75.97% over the past three years, with latest sales totalling £10.2mn.
To make the list, companies need to be independent, privately-owned and UK-headquartered as well as having sales that exceed £5mn in their latest year of trading, but not £250mn.
Earlier this summer, Aviramp was also named in The Manufacturer Top 100 list of the country’s most dynamic and innovative manufacturing leaders.
