Against the backdrop of the historic London Stock Exchange (LSE), The Foundry, provider of award-winning creative software used globally by leading artists, celebrated its place on the LSE's 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain.

The report, unveiled today, honours the UK's fastest-growing and most dynamic small and medium sized businesses, as well as highlights the critical contribution of these businesses to the British economy.

The Foundry's solutions include industry-standard tools used for visual effects, games and design. The company also works closely with innovative companies in the areas of virtual and augmented reality, as well as 3D printing, to push the boundaries of what's possible with new and exciting technologies. Clients include Pixar, ILM, Double Negative, The Moving Picture Company, Walt Disney Animation, Weta Digital, Framestore, Sony Pictures Imageworks, Brooks Running Company, Super Evil MegaCorp, Naughty Dog, MakerBot and a number of global brands in the areas of design.

While our reach is global, we're proud of our roots as a British company. Our success and innovation stems from a pool of fantastic talent, combined with support from a variety of British organisations, ranging from publicly funded projects to collaborative research and development. It's an honour to join this year's list and to represent the strength and promise of British SME's.

As well as identifying 1,000 companies, the publication examines in detail the opportunities and challenges facing SMEs, and looks at the sectors and trends that will shape the future of the UK economy.

To be included in the list, The Foundry showed consistent revenue growth over a minimum of three years, significantly outperforming our industry peers. More detail on the methodology can be found in the report online at www.1000companies.com.

This report is a significant part of London Stock Exchange's broader campaign to support UK high growth companies in their journeys from Start-up to Stardom and to create an entrepreneurship revolution. I'm delighted that a strong alliance between UK Government, financial market participants, investors, entrepreneurs and companies has been created to support these inspiring businesses.
