At a time when 50 small businesses are closing on a daily basis, Warwick-based Rivo Software continues to buck the trend by ranking in the Deloitte Fast 500 for EMEA for the second year running.

The 2011 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA rankings were announced yesterday at the annual awards ceremony at the Tower of London. The Technology Fast 500 EMEA ranking is comprised of the 500 fastest-growing technology companies across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Rivo Software was honoured for its impressive sales growth over the past five year;, this is the second consecutive year that Rivo has won the award.

With a succession of major contract signings over the last two months, Rivo are looking forward to another successful year in 2012.

First off the block was a contract with Cancer Research UK, the country's leading cancer research charity. As befitting any national charity, they had very specific, detailed requirements, and Rivo's contract win to provide risk-management solutions followed a rigorous and meticulous selection process.

This was hotly followed by an announcement that the UK's leading independent brewing and pub retailing business Marston's PLC would be looking to Rivo to further strengthen its Health & Safety management processes by proactively managing risk, improving efficiencies and reducing administration.

To complete the hat-trick, Rivo welcomed The Stobart Group on board - with a 3-year contract to provide accidents and audit recording capability last month.

"We are delighted and proud to receive this award for the second year running, it is an outstanding achievement for Rivo and helps to demonstrate the significant effort and hard work of all Rivo employees over the last five years." Simon Hook, Rivo Director.
