Port of Gdynia Authority SA joined the group of Business Gazelles (Gazele Biznesu) - the most dynamic Polish companies. The editors of "Business Pulse" ("Puls Biznesu") have already published this ranking for the twelfth time.
Business Gazelles is an annual ranking of the most dynamically developing small and medium companies. The first edition of the ranking took place in 2000. The list of Business Gazelles was announced on 12 December, 2011, while the special diplomas will be awarded during the regional gala on 13 March, 2012.
The originator of the ranking - Coface Poland, is a trade information provider that is responsible for verification of the financial data of the enterprises entered for the ranking. The ranking is drawn up every year by the economic journals belonging to the Swedish Bonnier Press Group. In addition to the "Business Pulse", such lists are developed by its sister journals in Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Latvia, Russia, Estonia and Slovenia. The selection criteria for Gazelles are adjusted to the local economic conditions in individual countries, but the goal is the same everywhere: promotion of small and medium enterprises.
In each edition of the ranking the results of the company in full three preceding years are examined. In the current edition the results obtained in the period of 2008-2009-2010 were verified. A place in the ranking depends on the percentage growth in turnover achieved in the three examined years. The companies providing financial and related services, such as banks, insurance companies, factoring companies - cannot participate in the ranking. The results of capital groups are not considered in the ranking. Participation in the ranking is free of charge.
