OMEX feature in NatWest MMC Report

OMEX participates in the “NatWest MMC Mid-market corporate: The critical middle” report

The Mid-Market Corporates Report

OMEX has participated in NatWest’s Mid Market Corporate report. The report looks at mid-market firms, which employ between 100 and 2,500 people, whom over the past decade have consistently grown at a faster pace than the economy as a whole.

Paul Thwaite, Chief Executive of NatWest Group comments:

“They are brimming with the potential to drive up national prosperity, but they are too often passed over by policymakers and financial institutions. Make no mistake, though – these businesses possess transformational power.

Our research shows this group could add £35billion to the economy in the next five years and create more high-quality jobs. The ripple effect would be felt across the UK with 70 per cent of this growth occurring outside London and the South East.”
