“We want nothing less than to make the UK the technology centre of 
Europe. This is the path we need to take to create new jobs, new growth 
and new prosperity in every corner of our country.” 
George Osborne, Chancellor of the Exchequer

“Competitive advantage doesn’t go to the nations that focus on creating 
companies, it goes to nations that focus on scaling companies.”

JOHN CRIDLAND, 
DIRECTOR-GENERAL 
CBI 
“This report makes a compelling case for 
getting behind the UK’s high growth 
‘scale-ups’ and I hope all political parties 
seriously consider its recommendations. 
These firms are already having a 
transformational impact, we just need 
more of them to grow. 
Helping them access the talent they 
need, develop their leadership and 
access new markets are the priorities.”

CHUKA UMUNNA CHUKA 
UMUNNA MP SHADOW 
SECRETARY FOR BUSINESS, 
INNOVATIONS AND SKILLS 
"This excellent report from Sherry Coutu makes clear that 
to secure the high-wage, high-skill economy that means 
people in Britain can succeed, we need to fix the broken 
rungs on the ladder that make it harder for ambitious 
businesses in Britain to step onto the global stage. 
Whether making better use of the information out there 
about which are our most promising firms, or 
coordinating support at a local level, the report is 
packed full of straightforward recommendations that 
point not only to how Britain can pay its way in the world 
but how it can do so in a way that enables far more 
people than now can build the life they want – that is 
why Sherry’s insightful report is so important and a real 
clarion call for policy makers to act."

LESZEK BORYSIEWICZ, 
VICE CHANCELLOR OF 
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY 
“This report clearly demonstrates the significant benefits 
that can be achieved through Government, business and 
universities working together to help close the scale-up 
gap. 
World leading universities such as Cambridge play a 
crucial role in creating business through the generation of 
innovation, entrepreneurship, and funding opportunities, 
but it is the talent and expertise of our students and 
academics that will help these businesses grow.”

PETER TUFANO,

SAID BUSINESS SCHOOL, 
OXFORD 
"In all fields, getting started is essential, but not enough. 
Races need to be finished, plays need final acts, and for 
enterprises, starting-up must be followed by scaling-up. 
The Scale-Up Report focuses our attention on this less-well 
studied, but critical, element of the process of business 
formation and job growth. 
By changing the public and private dialogue to celebrate not 
just start ups, but scale ups, this Scale-Up report will hopefully 
boost the UK economy."

ANYA HINDMARCH 
FOUNDER & CEO 
“I wholeheartedly support the Scale-Up Report. 
Whilst start-ups are so important for this country, it is the scale ups 
that deliver the economic reward. It is also really hard to scale up 
and so if experience and support can be lent to the scale-up 
candidates, then they will have an even greater chance of success. 
Support can also quite simply be about unblocking the way and 
freeing them up to just get on with it. I think a focus on scale-ups 
could deliver real economic benefit.”

CHAIR OF GREATER 
MANCHESTER LEP 
“Many thanks for sharing the scale up report with 
colleagues across Greater Manchester and giving us 
the opportunity to input. 
As chair of the Greater Manchester Local Enterprise 
Partnership, I believe that this provides a powerful 
argument for more focused business support services 
on firms with high growth potential in a local area. 
It is a welcome contribution in the context of Greater 
Manchester’s recent devolution deal with Government 
and will support us as we look to deliver targeted 
business support to our local high growth firms.”

WILL HUTTON,

COLLEGE OXFORD AND CHAIR 
OF THE BIG INNOVATION 
CENTRE 
“Britain confronts a Scale-up crisis, and Sherry Coutu is to be 
warmly congratulated on opening up an issue that has for 
too long gone unexplored and unremedied. 
If the country is to capitalise on its strengths and emergent 
entrepreneurial culture then it is vital that we construct the 
ecosystem in which more start-ups and young firms grow 
to maturity. 
We need the debate which I hope this report will trigger: but 
we also need radical action”.

TONY CLAYTON, 
CHIEF ECONOMIST 
IPO 
"Not only does this report pull together the 
evidence on economic gains from effective 
scaling up of knowledge based business based in 
the UK in a comprehensive way, it also sets out 
the ways in which resources can be mobilised, 
skills improved and successes identified. 
It's not about 'picking winners' but about making 
sure firms that win early can go on to use their IP 
and innovative ideas to win internationally. 
It's another chapter in turning UK ideas into 
growth on a global scale”

ANDREW MILLER, 
CEO 
GUARDIAN MEDIA GROUP 
At the Guardian we have used the many advantages 
technology gives us to scale up and transform our 
organisation into one of the world's leading quality 
news brands. 
Sherry Coutu's comprehensive and insightful report 
identifies the many challenges we all face if we are to 
unlock, harness and sustain the extraordinary 
opportunities that now confront us. 
I hope that it encourages political, business and 
technology leaders to come together and deliver the 
strategies, skills and structures that British businesses of 
all shapes and sizes need if they are to continue 
succeeding on the world stage.

THE SCALE-UP REPORT 
ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH 
Definition 
An independent report to the government 
NOVEMBER 2014
A ‘scale-up’ is an enterprise with average annual growth in employees or 
turnover greater than 20 per cent per annum over a three year period, 
and with more than 10 employees at the beginning of the period 
THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry #scaleup Coutu CBE
Methodology 
8,923 
THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry #scaleup Coutu CBE
SCALE-UPS ARE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY 
Scale-ups are found in each of the 39 
LEP areas in England and 6,659 (75 per 
cent) of the total 8,923 scale-ups are 
located outside of London. 
On average a LEP will have 
approximately 228 scale-ups in their area. 
These in turn can be grouped into the 
Number of scale-ups companies that 
employ between 
• 10 and 49 employees, 
• 50 and 250 employees, 
• >250 employees

|SCALE-UPS ARE MORE THAN DIGITAL 
SCIENCE ONES GREW 92% LAST YEAR….. 
“The Science 50” 
Royal Society’s list Illustrates the 
extent to which science-based scale-ups 
are a nationwide phenomenon. 
36 (72 per cent) of the top 50 fastest 
growing science-based companies 
are located outside of London. 
These 50 science-based companies 
increased their revenues by an 
average of 92 % between 2012 and 
2013, achieving a combined annual 
turnover of more than £1.3 billion. 
Adding more than £600 million to 
national output last year.

STARTUPS DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO NATIONAL OUTPUT 
Research by the academic David Storey has found that the 
median annual sales of a six-year-old firm in the UK are less than £23,000 
This research also found that only a small group of start-ups achieve 
significant growth in revenues – just one per cent have sales of more than £1 million 
six years after they star 
1 % 
It also found that the average new firm, despite the hype that surrounds 
startups, made a negligible contribution to British productivity growth. 
THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH #scaleup 
Sherry Coutu |CBE
STARTUPS DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO NATIONAL OUTPUT 
Related to this is the fact that larger businesses tend to be more 
productive than smaller businesses. 
BIS data show that in the UK average turnover per employee is: 
• £170,000 for firms with 250 plus employees 
• £164,000 for firms with 50 to 249 employees 
• £134,000 for firms with between 10 and 49 employees39 
The average new firm, despite the hype that surrounds startups, made a 
negligible contribution to British productivity growth. 
THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry Coutu |CBE
SCALE-UPS HAVE HIGH QUALITY JOBS 
http://www.scaleupreport.com 
Of the employees surveyed in these high-growth companies who had joined the 
company from another employer, 80 per cent stated that they were ‘satisfied’ or 
‘very satisfied’ with their current job compared to 46 per cent when asked about 
their previous job

CONCLUSION 
And we should focus our attention and policies on scale-ups

“to nurture and raise a single child into a successful human being takes 
much longer and is a more complex and arduous process for society 
than to introduce an additional child into the world”
THERE IS A SCALE-UP GAP 
The UK has a lower share of large businesses 
than the US. 
Large firms with more than 250 employees 
account for 0.5 per cent of firms in the UK but 
0.7 per cent in the US. 
THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH #scaleup 
Sherry Coutu |CBE
THERE IS A SCALE-UP GAP 
 Many European economies, 
including UK are as 
effective as US in creating 
new businesses 
 Not enough of them grow – 
displacing older firms 
 This lack of ‘scale up’ 
means the economy as a 
whole loses on productivity 
and growth.

The 3 year gross impact of moving 1% of businesses to HGF mode 
(244% over 3 years) 
As a simple illustration of the potential impact of 
high-growth firms, RBS undertook an analysis to 
determine the economy wide impact of one per 
cent of all businesses with over 10 employees 
shifting from a stable growth state into high-growth 
mode. 
This would see the total population of HGFs in 
the UK increase from 10,200 (4.6 per cent of 
total business population with 10 or more 
employees) to 12,440 (5.6 per cent of total 
business population with 10 or more employees). 
At the end of year three this would result in 2,240 
businesses making this shift and the creation of 
238,000 jobs and almost £39 billion in additional 
turnover. 
39 * 20 years = 780 billion before you take 
into account productivity effects

Key Messages 
What makes any portfolio of 
initiatives work in this context is the 
joint efforts of a mixed group of 
stakeholders: 
Successful entrepreneurs, 
government, large corporates, 
investors and educators 
(universities and schools). 
Joint initiatives, joint leadership, 
joint funding, joint accountability. 
This mixed representation and 
cross-stakeholder working is what 
creates a true entrepreneurial 
ecosystem.

THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry Coutu |CBE
Collaboration is key 
The Endeavor programme has cost an average 
of £405 for every job created in emerging 
conomies, and this has been 
financed largely without public funding (see case 
study below). 
Furthermore, the Endeavor programme is 
financed in most cases without any public 
support, relying on private sector donations of 
funding and time, with a volunteer network of 
more than 1,000 global and local business 
leaders. 
Similarly, Mass Challenge and VentureFest have 
created more than 4,000 jobs between April 
2010 and September 2013 at a cost of £1,285 
per job, with just four per cent of funding coming 
from the public sector.

#scaleup
KEY RECOMMENDATIONS 
http://www.scaleupreport.com 
Recommendation 1: 
RELEASE the names of scale-ups 
 you already hold the information 
so that local public and private organisations 
can identify, target and evaluate their support 
to scale-up companies, and evaluate their 
impact on UK economic growth. 
Case Study: Cambridge Cluster Map

Sherry Coutu |CBE
KEY RECOMMENDATIONS 
http://www.scaleupreport.com 
Recommendation 2 
Publicly funded organisations such as 
Local Enterprise Partnerships and 
cities 
seeking public funding 
should review and report on the extent 
to which the top 50 scale-ups in their 
areas are increasing their turnover and 
job growth from year to year with the 
objective of increasing the proportion 
of scale-ups with more than 250 
employees by three per cent by 2025.

KEY RECOMMENDATIONS 
http://www.scaleupreport.com 
Recommendation 4 
A Minister should be made responsible 
for reversing the scale-up gap by 2025 
with 
cross-departmental resources allocated 
independent bodies named (to monitor) 
and 
a task-force appointed to deliver 
a scale-up report to the 
Prime Minister every November for the 
next five years.

KEY RECOMMENDATIONS 
Draw attention to scale-up companies 
and their leaders so that it is easier for 
them to act as role models to others 
and to find customers, partners and 
investors, both at home and overseas.

  • 2. THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Thank-you’s An independent report to the government NOVEMBER 2014
  • 3. “We want nothing less than to make the UK the technology centre of Europe. This is the path we need to take to create new jobs, new growth and new prosperity in every corner of our country.” George Osborne, Chancellor of the Exchequer THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry #scaleup Coutu CBE
  • 4. “First mover advantage doesn’t go to the first company that launches, it goes to the first company that scales.” Reid Hoffman, co-founder of Linkedin THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry #scaleup Coutu CBE
  • 5. “Competitive advantage doesn’t go to the nations that focus on creating companies, it goes to nations that focus on scaling companies.” THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry #scaleup Coutu CBE
  • 6. JOHN CRIDLAND, DIRECTOR-GENERAL CBI “This report makes a compelling case for getting behind the UK’s high growth ‘scale-ups’ and I hope all political parties seriously consider its recommendations. These firms are already having a transformational impact, we just need more of them to grow. Helping them access the talent they need, develop their leadership and access new markets are the priorities.” THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry Coutu |CBE An independent report to the government | www.scaleupreport.org | @scaleup | #scaleup
  • 7. CHUKA UMUNNA CHUKA UMUNNA MP SHADOW SECRETARY FOR BUSINESS, INNOVATIONS AND SKILLS "This excellent report from Sherry Coutu makes clear that to secure the high-wage, high-skill economy that means people in Britain can succeed, we need to fix the broken rungs on the ladder that make it harder for ambitious businesses in Britain to step onto the global stage. Whether making better use of the information out there about which are our most promising firms, or coordinating support at a local level, the report is packed full of straightforward recommendations that point not only to how Britain can pay its way in the world but how it can do so in a way that enables far more people than now can build the life they want – that is why Sherry’s insightful report is so important and a real clarion call for policy makers to act." THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry Coutu |CBE An independent report to the government | www.scaleupreport.org | @scaleup | #scaleup
  • 8. LESZEK BORYSIEWICZ, VICE CHANCELLOR OF CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY “This report clearly demonstrates the significant benefits that can be achieved through Government, business and universities working together to help close the scale-up gap. World leading universities such as Cambridge play a crucial role in creating business through the generation of innovation, entrepreneurship, and funding opportunities, but it is the talent and expertise of our students and academics that will help these businesses grow.” THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry Coutu |CBE An independent report to the government | www.scaleupreport.org | @scaleup | #scaleup
  • 9. PETER TUFANO, DEAN SAID BUSINESS SCHOOL, OXFORD "In all fields, getting started is essential, but not enough. Races need to be finished, plays need final acts, and for enterprises, starting-up must be followed by scaling-up. The Scale-Up Report focuses our attention on this less-well studied, but critical, element of the process of business formation and job growth. By changing the public and private dialogue to celebrate not just start ups, but scale ups, this Scale-Up report will hopefully boost the UK economy." THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry Coutu |CBE An independent report to the government | www.scaleupreport.org | @scaleup | #scaleup
  • 10. ANYA HINDMARCH FOUNDER & CEO “I wholeheartedly support the Scale-Up Report. Whilst start-ups are so important for this country, it is the scale ups that deliver the economic reward. It is also really hard to scale up and so if experience and support can be lent to the scale-up candidates, then they will have an even greater chance of success. Support can also quite simply be about unblocking the way and freeing them up to just get on with it. I think a focus on scale-ups could deliver real economic benefit.” THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry Coutu |CBE An independent report to the government | www.scaleupreport.org | @scaleup | #scaleup
  • 11. MIKE BLACKBURN CHAIR OF GREATER MANCHESTER LEP “Many thanks for sharing the scale up report with colleagues across Greater Manchester and giving us the opportunity to input. As chair of the Greater Manchester Local Enterprise Partnership, I believe that this provides a powerful argument for more focused business support services on firms with high growth potential in a local area. It is a welcome contribution in the context of Greater Manchester’s recent devolution deal with Government and will support us as we look to deliver targeted business support to our local high growth firms.” THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry Coutu |CBE An independent report to the government | www.scaleupreport.org | @scaleup | #scaleup
  • 12. WILL HUTTON, PRINCIPAL OF HERTFORD COLLEGE OXFORD AND CHAIR OF THE BIG INNOVATION CENTRE “Britain confronts a Scale-up crisis, and Sherry Coutu is to be warmly congratulated on opening up an issue that has for too long gone unexplored and unremedied. If the country is to capitalise on its strengths and emergent entrepreneurial culture then it is vital that we construct the ecosystem in which more start-ups and young firms grow to maturity. We need the debate which I hope this report will trigger: but we also need radical action”. THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry Coutu |CBE An independent report to the government | www.scaleupreport.org | @scaleup | #scaleup
  • 13. TONY CLAYTON, CHIEF ECONOMIST IPO "Not only does this report pull together the evidence on economic gains from effective scaling up of knowledge based business based in the UK in a comprehensive way, it also sets out the ways in which resources can be mobilised, skills improved and successes identified. It's not about 'picking winners' but about making sure firms that win early can go on to use their IP and innovative ideas to win internationally. It's another chapter in turning UK ideas into growth on a global scale” THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry Coutu |CBE An independent report to the government | www.scaleupreport.org | @scaleup | #scaleup
  • 14. ANDREW MILLER, CEO GUARDIAN MEDIA GROUP At the Guardian we have used the many advantages technology gives us to scale up and transform our organisation into one of the world's leading quality news brands. Sherry Coutu's comprehensive and insightful report identifies the many challenges we all face if we are to unlock, harness and sustain the extraordinary opportunities that now confront us. I hope that it encourages political, business and technology leaders to come together and deliver the strategies, skills and structures that British businesses of all shapes and sizes need if they are to continue succeeding on the world stage.

  • 19. A ‘scale-up’ is an enterprise with average annual growth in employees or turnover greater than 20 per cent per annum over a three year period, and with more than 10 employees at the beginning of the period THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry #scaleup Coutu CBE
  • 20. Methodology 8,923 THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry #scaleup Coutu CBE
  • 21. SCALE-UPS ARE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY Scale-ups are found in each of the 39 LEP areas in England and 6,659 (75 per cent) of the total 8,923 scale-ups are located outside of London. On average a LEP will have approximately 228 scale-ups in their area. These in turn can be grouped into the Number of scale-ups companies that employ between • 10 and 49 employees, • 50 and 250 employees, • >250 employees THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH #scaleup Sherry Coutu |CBE
  • 22. http://www.scaleupreport.com |SCALE-UPS ARE MORE THAN DIGITAL SCIENCE ONES GREW 92% LAST YEAR….. “The Science 50” Royal Society’s list Illustrates the extent to which science-based scale-ups are a nationwide phenomenon. 36 (72 per cent) of the top 50 fastest growing science-based companies are located outside of London. These 50 science-based companies increased their revenues by an average of 92 % between 2012 and 2013, achieving a combined annual turnover of more than £1.3 billion. Adding more than £600 million to national output last year. http://www.svc2uk.com/the-royal-society-science-50-index/ THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH #scaleup Sherry Coutu CBE

  • 25. STARTUPS DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO NATIONAL OUTPUT Research by the academic David Storey has found that the median annual sales of a six-year-old firm in the UK are less than £23,000 This research also found that only a small group of start-ups achieve significant growth in revenues – just one per cent have sales of more than £1 million six years after they star 1 % It also found that the average new firm, despite the hype that surrounds startups, made a negligible contribution to British productivity growth. THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH #scaleup Sherry Coutu |CBE
  • 26. STARTUPS DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO NATIONAL OUTPUT Related to this is the fact that larger businesses tend to be more productive than smaller businesses. BIS data show that in the UK average turnover per employee is: • £170,000 for firms with 250 plus employees • £164,000 for firms with 50 to 249 employees • £134,000 for firms with between 10 and 49 employees39 The average new firm, despite the hype that surrounds startups, made a negligible contribution to British productivity growth.

  • 27. SCALE-UPS HAVE HIGH QUALITY JOBS http://www.scaleupreport.com Of the employees surveyed in these high-growth companies who had joined the company from another employer, 80 per cent stated that they were ‘satisfied’ or ‘very satisfied’ with their current job compared to 46 per cent when asked about their previous job THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry Coutu CBE THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH #scaleup Sherry Coutu |CBE

  • 29. http://www.scaleupreport.com “to nurture and raise a single child into a successful human being takes much longer and is a more complex and arduous process for society than to introduce an additional child into the world”
  • 30. THERE IS A SCALE-UP GAP The UK has a lower share of large businesses than the US. Large firms with more than 250 employees account for 0.5 per cent of firms in the UK but 0.7 per cent in the US. THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH #scaleup Sherry Coutu |CBE
  • 31. THERE IS A SCALE-UP GAP  Many European economies, including UK are as effective as US in creating new businesses  Not enough of them grow – displacing older firms  This lack of ‘scale up’ means the economy as a whole loses on productivity and growth.

  • 32. http://www.scaleupreport.com The 3 year gross impact of moving 1% of businesses to HGF mode (244% over 3 years) As a simple illustration of the potential impact of high-growth firms, RBS undertook an analysis to determine the economy wide impact of one per cent of all businesses with over 10 employees shifting from a stable growth state into high-growth mode. This would see the total population of HGFs in the UK increase from 10,200 (4.6 per cent of total business population with 10 or more employees) to 12,440 (5.6 per cent of total business population with 10 or more employees). At the end of year three this would result in 2,240 businesses making this shift and the creation of 238,000 jobs and almost £39 billion in additional turnover. 39 * 20 years = 780 billion before you take into account productivity effects Source: RBS Working Paper: Oct 2014 High Growth Firms and the Economy £ 780 billion + £ 768 billion THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry Coutu |CBE

Key Messages What makes any portfolio of initiatives work in this context is the joint efforts of a mixed group of stakeholders: Successful entrepreneurs, government, large corporates, investors and educators (universities and schools). Joint initiatives, joint leadership, joint funding, joint accountability. This mixed representation and cross-stakeholder working is what creates a true entrepreneurial ecosystem. http://issuu.com/endeavorglobal1/docs/what_do_the_best_entrepreneurs_want http://www.scaleupreport.com THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry Coutu |CBE
  • 41. Collaboration is key The Endeavor programme has cost an average of £405 for every job created in emerging conomies, and this has been financed largely without public funding (see case study below). Furthermore, the Endeavor programme is financed in most cases without any public support, relying on private sector donations of funding and time, with a volunteer network of more than 1,000 global and local business leaders. Similarly, Mass Challenge and VentureFest have created more than 4,000 jobs between April 2010 and September 2013 at a cost of £1,285 per job, with just four per cent of funding coming from the public sector. http://issuu.com/endeavorglobal1/docs/what_do_the_best_entrepreneurs_want THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH #scaleup Sherry Coutu |CBE
