Fast Track has published league tables of the UK’s top-performing private companies with The Sunday Times for the past 23 years. The company was founded and is run by Dr Hamish Stevenson, who also holds an associate fellowship at Green Templeton College, Oxford University.
To be recognised in the league table companies have to be registered in the UK and be independent, unquoted and ultimate holding companies. They are ranked according to the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of their international sales over their latest two financial years. Total sales had to be between £25m and £1bn, and international sales at least £1m in the latest financial year.
