Call for entries for Fast 50 awards

Technology and digital businesses across the region are being urged to enter the 2009 Deloitte Fast 50 Technology awards.

Now in their 12th year, the awards recognise and rank technology companies with an exceptional growth in turnover over the last five years.

Newcastle-based digital company, TH_NK, led the way for North East firms last year by ranking in sixth place, as well as achieving fourth place in 2007.

Last year’s overall winning entry was Thunderhead, a London-based enterprise communications software house, with a growth rate of 28,558%.

Glen Manchester, Thunderhead CEO said: “2008 was an exciting year for us, and winning the 2008 Deloitte Fast 50 competition was the icing on the cake. We’ve been expanding extremely rapidly, and welcomed the additional national profile that this prestigious award brings.”

David Wilkinson, TMT Lead Partner for Deloitte’s Newcastle office said: “The Technology Fast 50 awards are an opportunity for businesses to gain recognition for their successes and achievements over the previous 12 months. In what has been a turbulent environment for the sector, there has never been a more important time for businesses to highlight their achievements.”
