Niche frozen food retailer Frozen Value, which trades as Jack Fulton from 67 shops in Yorkshire, Lancashire, Nottinghamshire and Humberside, is part owned by its management and 3i.

Sheffield-based GO Outdoors, which is based in Hill Street, close to Bramall Lane, has secured 40th place overall and fifth in Yorkshire and the North East.
