National leader of the Fast 50 programme Deloitte partner Stephen Nicholas says the Fast 50 is the index for New Zealand’s fastest growing businesses, showcasing entrepreneurial companies which have demonstrated the leadership to innovate and grow.
“This year in particular, we are searching for those inspirational stories not only of growth, but courage, tenacity and entrepreneurial spirit across our nation,” Nicholas says. “The Fast 50 sets the standard for emerging businesses to aim for.”
Nicholas says this year’s entry process has been refined to make it even easier and the rewards from making the list, which is based on revenue growth, are innumerable.
“Businesses on the list receive considerable local and national media attention, raising their profile among the wider business community but also, and perhaps more critically, from investors looking for destinations for capital. And not to be overlooked is the huge boost to staff morale from making the Deloitte Fast 50.”
