Deloitte Technology Fast 50

We are delighted that Deloitte has chosen the TechMarketView banner service to let applicants know that they only have until 17^th Sept to apply to be recognized in the Technology Fast 50. Indeed, what better way to get directly to the leaders of many thousands of IT companies operating in the UK market than TechMarketView.

Deloitte have just released their review of Technology Fast 50 companies over the last decade as well as the results of a survey of  entrants to the 2009 Deloitte Technology  Fast 50 programme. To download your copy Click here. Deloitte estimate that over the last ten years, UK Technology Fast 50 companies have generated in excess of £5 billion of wealth for their owners since they first appeared in the rankings.

The UK has consistently provided a significant proportion of Deloitte’s combined ranking of fast-growing European companies, the Technology Fast 500 EMEA programme. Last year, for example, the UK provided 87 of the Technology Fast 50 EMEA region top 500 and only France was anywhere near as significant.

In four of the last seven years, the UK has had more companies in the EMEA Fast 500 than any other country, including 2006, 2007 and 2009 – in each instance ahead of the second most successful nation, France.

It’s also interesting how optimistic entrants are. Over 43% of respondents to the survey of 2009 entrants felt the recent economic conditions had either a positive or no effect on their business.   

Applications are free and can be submitted online at www.fast50.co.uk, after which you will be asked to supply signed audited accounts for the first year and last year of the five years being measured. Winners of this year’s UK Technology Fast 50 will be decided in mid-October with a gala dinner at the Emirates Stadium on 25 November.
