Supercar dealership Romans International has been named one of Europe’s Long-Term Growth Champions by the Financial Times.
It secured position 288 among the continent’s top 300 sustained-growth companies.
It is the second time the business has been recognised by the Financial Times.
In 2017, the company was featured in the FT 1000: Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies list, when it ranked 683rd, making Romans International the only automotive dealership to achieve both distinctions.
“Being recognised in the inaugural edition of the Financial Times’ Long-Term Growth Champions list is more than just an accolade – it’s a testament to our team’s dedication and our sustainable business approach over the past decade,” said Tom Jaconelli, Director at Romans International.
“Achieving recognition from the Financial Times twice, in two different decades and for two distinct aspects of our business growth, is truly extraordinary. It proves that our success isn’t just about rapid expansion – it’s about building a sustainable, resilient business that continues to excel year after year,” continued Tom.
Founded in 1994 by Paul Jaconelli, Romans International has established itself as one of Europe’s leading independent luxury car dealerships. With an exquisite showroom located in Banstead, Surrey, and Paul’s son Tom at the helm, the company, has forged a reputation for offering an expertly curated selection of the world’s finest supercars, luxury SUVs, and modern performance vehicles.
Paul Jaconelli, Founder & Chairman of Romans International, reflected on the achievement of his company: “When we established Romans International in 1994, we envisioned building something truly special in the luxury automotive sector.
“To be acknowledged by the Financial Times as one of Europe’s business growth champions, especially against the backdrop of significant economic challenges over the past decade, is incredibly encouraging for us as a business.”
Romans International’s inclusion in this inaugural long-term growth ranking is particularly noteworthy, as it demonstrates the company’s resilience and ability to maintain robust organic growth despite the economic volatility that has characterised the past decade. This achievement sets the company apart not only within the automotive sector but across the broader European business landscape.
Since its inception, the company has built an envious reputation through unwavering dedication to exceptional vehicle preparation and presentation, coupled with a customer-first approach delivered by its long-serving, experienced team.
