Founded in Manchester, Open Partners, The Agency of Next, has this month been named in FT 1000 Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies 2025, securing 2nd place in the UK and 6th in Europe by revenue within the Marketing and Advertising category.
The accolade follows success in 2024, with Open Partners securing 33rd place in The Sunday Times 100 Fastest Growing Companies in the UK.
The news comes as the agency reflects on £51m turnover, and an impressive annual growth rate that has seen the company almost double in size over the last three financial years.
The business services over 50 clients with a headcount of over 140, allowing expansion with offices now in London, Liverpool and Bristol as well as Toronto and Melbourne to service international clients alongside their headquarters in Manchester.
Co-founder and Executive Chair, Joe Procter, comments:“When we started out in 2017 our mission for Open Partners was to create the “agency of next” – thinking about the future so our clients wouldn’t have to.
“That means we work hard to analyse, predict and act, combining media, data and creative services that are fully integrated under one roof, which we believe is the key to consistent client results and subsequent agency growth.
“Off the back of being named in the Times100 last year and being recognised in this year’s FT 1000 Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies, it validates again that being future-focussed, client-first, operationally and commercially open guarantees effectiveness for clients and accountability for ourselves.
“It goes without saying this recognition is a testament to our clients and our team who continuously push creative boundaries and deliver exceptional results.”
Since the start of the year the business has recruited a further eleven full-time staff and currently has a live vacancy for an Associate Client Partner in Manchester.
