22: 32Red (now part of Kindred Group) (2016)

If the so-called experts had been right, 32Red would either have been sold-off or on its knees by now – crippled by the introduction of the UK PoC tax. However, Ed Ware and his team have proved the naysayers wrong and, boosted by last year’s acquisition of Roxy Palace, recently posted H1 revenues of £30.4m and EBITDA of £4.5m. Shrewd marketing has been the driver of growth, with 32Red’s data-driven approach paying dividends.
