Energy trading software developer Contigo is celebrating,
following its inclusion on one of the UK's most highly regarded
indexes of the country's fastest growing technology companies.
The Birmingham-based company - which develops commodities
trading software for the energy industry - has entered the
prestigious UK Deloitte Technology Fast 50 list in 28th place,
having generated a revenue growth of 1,019% over the last five
years.
Jon Yeomans, Marketing Director, Contigo, said: "This has been a
truly outstanding year for us, having been nominated in a number of
business and technology awards, and now to be included in the UK
Deloitte Fast 50.
"Our exceptional level of growth across the last five years is a
clear indication that as a company we are continuing to provide
cutting-edge, market-leading products that are bringing genuine,
measurable benefit to our customers.
"This is an outstanding achievement and one that I and the rest
of the team are incredibly proud of. To feature on the UK Deloitte
Fast 50 is a firm demonstration that Contigo is on the right track
and we are continuing to build on our present successes, while
remaining firmly focused on the future of the commodities trading
industries."
A business is eligible to feature in the Technology Fast 50, now
in its 15th year, as long as it has been active for a minimum of
five years, operates in the technology sector, and has operating
revenues of at least £34,000 in the first financial year of
the five that are analysed.
David Halstead, Partner leading the Deloitte Technology Fast 50,
said: "The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 gives great profile to
technology companies and is internationally recognised as being one
of the most important business awards in the sector.
"The 2011 Deloitte Fast 50 shows that tremendous growth rates
are still possible, with internet and software sectors showing
particular strength and making up over half of the companies in the
Fast 50 ranking.
"The Technology Fast 50 awards are an opportunity for businesses
to gain recognition for their successes and achievements over the
last five years. This year's ranking highlights the
importance of finding a niche product or service to beat the
recession."
Alongside the prestige of being recognised for their
achievements, companies that feature in the Deloitte Fast 50
entrants are qualified for entry into the Deloitte Technology Fast
500 EMEA (European, Middle East and Africa) programme.
An award ceremony to honour those companies that have been
featured on the 2011 Fast 50 will take place at the Tower of London
on 24 November.
