Foreword
The Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50 programme celebrates innovation and entrepreneurship amongst Britain's fastest growing technology companies. We are proud to have championed this competition for the past 19 years; recognising these achievements by profiling and ranking the outstanding growth of these businesses.
This year, we decided to look in detail at the people that have built and run these businesses to understand what's helped them succeed. Talent is a crucial aspect of any business and the Fast 50 CEOs left us in no doubt that they wouldn't be where they are today without the teams they have around them. We've analysed the information provided by 122 entrants and the survey responses submitted by 74 of their CEOs to unearth the secrets of their success.
I would like to extend my personal congratulations to each and every one of this year's winners on the exceptional growth they have enjoyed over the past four years. And this year there are two winners that I would like to recognise in particular. First and foremost, a mention must go to this year's overall winner, Brainlabs, who posted a remarkable average growth rate of 8,255 per cent. Secondly, I would like to give special praise to Skyscanner, who have achieved a unique milestone in UK Tech Fast 50 history by becoming the first business to appear in no less than eight consecutive editions of our rankings.
I hope that you enjoy the findings in this report and are as inspired by the success of the Fast 50 as I and the team from Deloitte are.
