Represent is in the top 10 for the region and in the top 100 for the UK for growth in the last three years. Jim Armitage, the business editor of The Sunday Times, said: "Our politicians talk about how they'll achieve growth but it is the graft of entrepreneurs – such as those in this year's Sunday Times 100 – which achieves it. Adanola, a fashion firm which is based in Manchester, is the fastest growing in the North West with an increase of more than 200 per cent in sales in the last three years. Six Stories, another fashion firm which is based in Manchester, and 21D Clinical, a dental business which is based in Birchwood, Warrington, are the rest of the top three. Here are the fastest growing in the North West according to The Sunday Times 100.
