MBA Group has risen to number 66, with Opus at 90 and Webmart just outside the to 100 at 101. Metromail made significant progress, jumping 50 places to number 150 in the rankings. SMP chair Judith Donovan CBE commented: “On behalf of all at the SMP, huge congratulations to our board members on this list, that is widely regarded as the ‘who’s who’ of print. We are particularly proud of the five organisations that have risen through the ranks to feature higher than previously. “This underlines the strength of the SMP board and highlights our position as the leading industry body for all our mail makers.” The Print Week Top 500 gives an overview of the fiscal health of the industry’s 500 largest companies, with averages calculated across a range of metrics. It is available as an editable spreadsheet to enable users to benchmark their own organisation against the leading companies.
