This year’s Fast Growth Awards are now open for new entries – rewarding the country’s most pioneering businesses that show significant growth and demonstrate entrepreneurial flair.
The 12 categories include awards for ‘New Business of the Year, ‘Innovative Business of the Year’ and ‘Online Business of the Year’. The overall winner will be crowned ‘Fast Growth Business of the Year’.
Aside from the obvious kudos of winning a category, winners will be able to raise their profile and receive press coverage. They will be able to use the Fast Growth logo, and potentially have the ability to attract new investors and clients as a result.
Ian Wallis from Growing Business commented:
“The Fast Growth Business Awards never disappoint in terms of the ingenuity, ambition and hard graft of the companies that enter. The awards have a fantastic track record of picking out brands on the cusp of great things. Three examples of previous winners stand out for me, although there are many more: Maximuscle was sold to GlaxoSmithKline for £162m; Multimap was sold to Microsoft for an estimated £30m-plus; and LOVEFiLM sold a 58% stake to Amazon in a deal valuing the business at around £200m. For founders, employees and investors alike such deals are the culmination of what goes into that determination to be the best in their field – and to let everyone know about it.”
How to enter
The deadline for new entrants is 24th June 2011.
Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony at the Marriott Grosvenor Square on 4th October 2011.
