Fast Track 100

The Fast Track 100 Research Report takes a closer look at the companies on this year’s league table and the key drivers for growth. The Fast Track 100 league table, recently published by The Sunday times in conjunction with Fast Track, ranks Britain’s 100 private companies with the fastest-growing sales over the last three years.

This year’s Fast Track 100 companies showed a remarkable average sales growth of 89% a year, slightly up compared to the 2011 league table. Average profit margins were 8.6% and more than half of the companies have improved their margins over the last three years. Together, the companies employ 14,000 staff, and have added more than 10,500 jobs over the last three years. These figures are a strong indicator of the impressive economic contribution of Fast Track 100 companies, particularly in the current challenging climate.

The impressive contribution of Fast Track 100 companies in the current economic climate is encouraging. Barclays recognises how private companies are crucial for economic growth, creating wealth and employment, whilst encouraging innovation and expertise within the wider economy.
