It’s official. Hampshire-based telecoms reseller Peach Telecom Limited is one of the country’s 50 fastest growing technology companies, based on revenue over the past five years. Becoming a winner of the Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50 for the second year running is recognised as a significant achievement by Peach Telecom. In its sixteenth year, the awards programme highlights both established and emerging technology companies in the UK.
Ranked 8th in both the telecommunications sector and south east region, and 39th overall, Peach Telecom recorded 5-years revenue growth of more than 500%* from £1.2M (2007/2008) to £8.1M (2012/2013). In 2012, Peach Telecom was placed 13th in the Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50 and also ranked among the 500 fastest growing technology companies in Europe, the Middle-East and Asia (EMEA).
According to Deloitte, the technology sector has faced many challenges over the last decade. One consistent theme throughout this time has been the vision and unwavering entrepreneurism demonstrated by companies such as Peach Telecom who rank in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50.
David Halstead, Partner leading the Deloitte Technology Fast 50, said: ‘The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 gives great profile to technology companies and is internationally recognised as being one of the most important business awards in the sector. The 2013 Deloitte Fast 50 shows that tremendous growth rates are still possible, with software sectors showing particular strength, they have had the greatest amount of entries in the past five years.’
‘The Technology Fast 50 awards are an opportunity for businesses to gain recognition for their successes and achievements over the last five years. This year’s ranking highlights the importance of finding a niche product or service to beat the recession.
