An Inverness-based business is celebrating after being commended as one of the UK’s Top 100 SMEs.

Amidst hundreds of entries from a diverse range of sectors, IDM Energy has been ranked 44 overall in the Elite Business 100 (EB100).

To celebrate this sensational achievement, IDM Energy will attend the coveted awards evening on March 13 in St Paul’s, London and will be included in the EB100 digital guide and online directory to a viewership of over half a million people.

The EB100 are ranked on a series of categories, from community engagement to innovation and growth. These businesses are highlighted as sheer excellence within the SME community and showcased for their dedication to a thriving entrepreneurial Britain.

“The EB100 is evidence of the overwhelming entrepreneurial spirit in Britain,” said Piers Linney, former investor on BBC’s Dragon’s Den and co-founder of Implement AI.

“Across every sector, we have seen truly impressive businesses that are devoted to achieving in all areas.”

Scott English, brand director of Elite Business added: “IDM Energy are innovators in the British SME community and deserve the spotlight shone on them from the Elite Business 100.

“This definitive league illustrates the crème de la crème of UK SMEs”.

This is the second year of the competition, with a dramatically increased number of applicants entering since 2023.

Judges noted the impressive sales and growth figures, community spirit and engagement and overall high standard of entries this year.

IDM Energy director Iain Macphail said: “This is a true testament to the hard work and dedication put in by the team on a daily basis and the relationships that we have with our clients.

“It is a real honour for our business to be included in such a prestigious list alongside some of the countries greatest business leaders. I hope that it shines a light on the Highlands and Islands.”

The team at IDM Energy is proud to not only provide exemplary services for its clients but now be named as a Top 100 UK business.
