The Worcestershire state school South Bromsgrove High is celebrating a sixth former pupil leading a highly ranked Sunday Times 100 company.

Thirty-one-year-old Liam Molesworth’s Clive Henry Group, a technology and recruitment firm in healthcare, has joined three other companies in featuring prominently in the league table. Collectively they have created personal wealth of close to £1 billion and employ more than 1,000 people, many of them former pupils of the high school and others in the West Midlands.

The three other companies are: Gymshark, the activewear brand topping the Sunday Times Fast Track 100 in 2016 (which preceded the Sunday Times 100), set up by Ben Francis and Lewis Morgan, both 32; fellow activewear label AYBL, founded by the brothers Reiss, 31, and Kristian
