Steve Antoniewicz, managing director of RAR, commented on the results: "The timing of this Top 100 report could not be better as it sets a really high bar for performance in the 12 months ahead.
"When I had the first glimpse of the data I was delighted. It’s always uplifting to see so many agency businesses doing so well in what has clearly been an exceptional period for many. When I’ve spoken to agencies from this group recently, they have been in confident tone and the results here mean that confidence is justified. Hats off to everyone who has featured."
