Revision as of 17:07, 19 March 2012
A list published annually in December in partnership with The Sunday Times newspaper in the UK.
The list ranks Britain's fastest growing privately held companies by sales growth over the last 3 years.
Produced by Fast Track, an Oxford based research company and sponsored by Virgin Group the eleventh Sunday Times Fast Track 100 was published on 2 December 2007.
Limitations
The Fast Track 100 is generally promoted as the definitive guide to the fastest growing privately held companies in the UK. Richard Branson is quoted as saying "Fast Track has become the definitive barometer of growth companies" However a number of limitations exists which mean that the list may not contain information on many fast growing companies. Most important of these is the reliance on historical data. Because Fast Track only deals in publicly available information generally from published accounts, the league table refers to data that is sometimes as much as 10 months out of date.
On the other hand, this method ensures objectivity and has led to the early identification of a number of household names, including Carphone Warehouse, Bhs and Travelex.
Entry criteria
For entry to the 2007 Fast Track 100 companies were required to be:
• Unquoted • Registered in the UK • Non-subsidiary, independent • Annualised sales of at least £250,000 in 2003/04 • Annualised sales of at least £5m in 2006/07 • An increase in sales from penultimate to latest year, and a forecast of further sales growth • Not a technology company
