Happy Days Nurseries & Pre-Schools is proud to have been recognised in the 2025 Cornwall LTD Awards, part of Grant Thornton’s respected national programme celebrating the UK’s most successful privately owned companies.
This year marks the launch of the first Cornwall LTD report, an in-depth exploration of the county’s top 100 privately owned businesses, assessed by both revenue and EBITDA. The report highlights the strength, resilience, and diversity of the region’s business community — from heritage-led industries to forward-thinking enterprises shaping Cornwall’s economic future.
Cornwall’s top 100 companies collectively generated £3 billion in turnover, supported nearly 20,000 jobs, and contributed £233 million in EBITDA, demonstrating their vital contribution to both the regional and national economy. The 2025 analysis also revealed a 13.1% increase in turnover and an 8.2% rise in average remuneration, emphasising growth paired with meaningful investment in people.
The consumer sector led the way with more than 40 companies contributing £1.3 billion in turnover, alongside strong performance from the manufacturing and industrial sectors. Across the board, the report celebrates organisations that exemplify agility, ambition, and excellence — qualities that Happy Days is delighted to be recognised for.
Nick and Supriya, who led the research and delivery of the Cornwall LTD campaign, will be visiting in the new year to present the award in person.
Speaking about the achievement, Happy Days shared:
“We are honoured to be recognised among Cornwall’s top-performing private companies. This acknowledgment reflects the dedication of our incredible teams and our continued commitment to providing exceptional early years education and care across the South West.”
The Cornwall LTD report provides a benchmark for business excellence and a valuable insight into Cornwall’s economic landscape and Happy Days is proud to be part of this exciting journey.
