2023's winners

  • As a business leader, you must remember it’s about progress, not perfection. Whatever industry you’re in if things aren’t working you need to try a different approach. Only in this way will the business continue to adapt, evolve and, crucially, grow.

    Lee Francis, CEO of RE:GEN Group

  • It’s an honour to win a fastest growing business award which is testament to the team we’ve created, the talent we’ve developed and how we’ve empowered our people to lead from the front. The awards are a breath of fresh air in this permacrisis period we find ourselves living through. It’s good to celebrate success and look positively to the future.

    Bill Griffiths, Managing Director at The Storage Place

  • It’s wonderful to be named the largest fastest-growing business of 2022. For us, having in place the right structure and the right people has been fundamental to the growth we’ve experienced. As a region, we don’t always stop and think about the success we’ve achieved so it’s good to have something like the Fastest 50 to remind us that hard work, passion and talent do pay off.

    Alan Appleyard, Operations Director at Casper Group
