List of Plymouth Brethren-connected companies: the 100 largest by revenue

The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (PBCC) is a closed religious community whose members run thousands of businesses. Brethren Intelligence maintains the only independent directory of Plymouth Brethren-connected companies: 8,409 companies and 9,126 individuals across 20 countries, identified from Companies House filings, ownership records, trade bodies and published sources under the methodology set out on this site. This page lists the 100 largest by revenue from the 134 with filed accounts in the database, as of October 2026.

How Plymouth Brethren-connected companies are identified

A company is included only on evidence: its owners, directors or persons with significant control are PBCC members identified through filings and published sources, or it belongs to a group that is. Every entry carries its basis in the directory. The method, and the standard applied before any company is named, is explained on the editorial standards and terms and methodology pages.

The 100 largest Plymouth Brethren-connected companies by revenue

Revenue and employee numbers are as filed in the latest available accounts, all filed for 2024, stated in Australian dollars throughout: the directory reports every company in one currency for consistency, wherever it is registered. Subsidiaries are counted from the group structures held in the directory. Where a company has since been sold, or has taken outside investment, that is noted beneath its name — a listing here records a Brethren connection, not a claim of present Brethren ownership.

The list above is the top of a directory of 8,409 companies. The full company directory covers every identified Plymouth Brethren-connected business by name, location, sector, owners and group, with government contracts and political donations linked to each. See also how much money the Plymouth Brethren have and the Covid contracts investigation.

Revenue, employee numbers and accounting years are as stated in each company's latest filed accounts, converted to Australian dollars so that companies in different jurisdictions can be compared on one measure. Subsidiary counts are taken from the group structures recorded in the Brethren Intelligence directory. Inclusion in the directory rests on the standard set out in our terms and methodology; no inference should be drawn from a company's presence in this list other than that its owners, directors or persons with significant control have been identified as members of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, or that it forms part of a group that has.
