HGF Included in West Yorkshire Top 100 Companies Report 2026

April 2026

HGF has been included in the West Yorkshire Top 100 Companies Report 2026, produced by Grant Thornton. The report recognises the region’s highest-performing privately owned businesses based on turnover.

This inclusion reflects the firm’s continued development, consistent financial performance, and growing presence across Europe. Following its private equity investment in 2024, HGF is pleased to be recognised among a broad group of established privately owned companies in the region.

Over the past 30 years, HGF has developed its position within the European intellectual property sector, supported by a focus on client service and a long-term approach to growth. The firm continues to build on this foundation as it evolves its strategy and capabilities.

HGF’s partnership with CBPE in 2024 has supported further investment across the business, including in its people, technology, and service offering. The collaboration also enables wider equity participation, contributing to a culture that values collaboration and shared progress.

Inclusion in the West Yorkshire Top 100 report reflects both the firm’s financial performance and its ongoing commitment to its core values: People, Teamwork, Progressiveness, and Excellence.

As HGF continues to develop its European presence, this recognition provides an opportunity to reflect on its progress and future direction.
