Groe Global Recognised Among Top 100 SMEs for Third Consecutive Year

Named Best Business Growth & Export Development Consultancy 2026 – Leading Fractional Operational Support for US & Global Scaling Businesses

Feb. 27, 2026 // FranchisePR.com // – Groe Global, the specialist in assisting US Franchises with fractional senior operational infrastructure and growth execution , has been named in the prestigious Elite Business Top 100 (EB100) league table for the third year running.

The company has also won the Best Business Growth & Export Development Consultancy 2026 award, joining previous honours such as Franchise Support of the Year (multiple years) and the 2026 Global Recognition Award.

The EB100 ranks the UK’s top 100 high-growth SMEs based on sustained growth, innovation, operational excellence, and impact. Groe Global’s repeated inclusion underscores its position among the country’s most dynamic businesses.

Even without its franchising focus, Groe Global stands alone on the 2026 EB100 in its niche: delivering ongoing, embedded fractional COO-level leadership and scalable operational infrastructure. Services include HQ capacity audits, systems & process implementation, performance benchmarking, growth funnel optimisation, AI-enabled tools, and hands-on execution — all at a fraction of full-time senior team costs.

No other listed company matches this model of long-term operational backbone support.
While rooted in the UK, Groe Global predominantly serves US-based businesses alongside clients in the UK, Middle East, Africa, Australia, and a total of 14 countries — helping leadership teams across these regions overcome scaling bottlenecks and drive sustainable growth.

Sean Goldsmith, Founder & Commercial Director, said: “We’re thrilled to earn this third EB100 spot and the Best Business Growth & Export Development Consultancy award. It validates our unique fractional operational model as market-leading — especially for ambitious US and international SMEs needing senior capacity without the overhead.”

Aamena Abed, COO, added: “Clients choose us because they want real execution and infrastructure that scales, not just advice. Being the only provider of this at EB100 level confirms we’re the go-to specialist globally.”

Groe Global partners with over 60 brands across 14 countries, removing operational hurdles so leaders can focus on expansion.
