David Halstead, Lead Partner, UK Fast 50 & EMEA Fast 500 programmes had this to say about the winners:
“It’s been very encouraging to see the strength and diversity in this year’s Fast 50 entrants and winners. And as companies that have excelled in creating winning strategies and nurturing the people who can drive commercial success, I expect we will be hearing much more from them in the future.”
