RSM Tenon is a leading sponsor of this year’s Sunday Times Fast Track 100, which ranks Britain’s 100 private companies with the fastest-growing sales. Over the past 16 years, the Fast Track league table awards and events have helped raise the profile of over 3,000 private growth companies, and the search has now started for the next 100 companies to feature in the 16th Sunday Times Fast Track 100. The initiative has already spotted many of Britain’s brightest companies before they became household names, such as chip designer ARM Holdings, Carphone Warehouse and Boden.

RSM Tenon is sponsoring this year’s league table, along with Barclays and title sponsor Virgin. The final list will be published in The Sunday Times on December 2, followed by an awards ceremony at Sir Richard Branson’s Oxfordshire home in May. John Abbott, RSM Tenon’s head of clients and marketing, said: “We’re delighted to support this initiative which looks to identify the hard work and commitment made by so many of Britain’s SMEs. “We know that these businesses are the lifeblood of the country, and we are pleased to be involved in helping to recognise the unique contribution they make both to their individual market sectors and to the UK economy as a whole.”

Dr Hamish Stevenson, founder of Oxford-based research and networking-events company Fast Track, said: “The achievements of the founders and directors of Britain’s fastest-growing private companies deserve recognition, particularly at these difficult economic times, and the support of partners such as RSM Tenon makes this possible.

“With our sponsors’ support, we will now be able to showcase the next generation of growth stars making their mark.”
