Companies that set the pace revealed

THERE is just one week to go before the definitive list of Yorkshire’s fastest growing companies is revealed.

Next Tuesday, the Yorkshire Post will print the Yorkshire Fastest 50 for 2011.

The list, which has been compiled in association with UK top 100 law firm Ward Hadaway, will show which privately-owned companies across Yorkshire are really setting the pace when it comes to helping to build the region’s economic recovery.

As well as listing the Yorkshire Fastest 50, we will also include brief profiles of each of the companies who have made it into the final 50.

Then later this month, representatives from the businesses will gather at the Yorkshire Fastest 50 Awards ceremony, which takes place at Leeds City Museum.

There, the leading companies will be revealed and awards given to the fastest growing small, medium and large companies.

The event on Friday, March 25, will also crown an overall fastest-growing company in Yorkshire.

The Yorkshire Fastest 50 rewards privately-owned profit-making companies and organisations which have shown the strongest sales growth over recent years.

It has been developed in partnership with law firm Ward Hadaway, whose own Yorkshire operation based in Leeds has grown strongly since opening in summer 2008.

Martin Hulls, Ward Hadaway Leeds office senior partner, said: “We launched the Yorkshire Fastest 50 with the Yorkshire Post because we want to highlight and celebrate the terrific work of companies right across the region and bring their achievements to a wider audience.

“As well as championing individual success, we hope that the Fastest 50 will also help to create a genuine insight into the dynamism and vibrancy of the commercial world in Yorkshire and a valuable snapshot of the sectors and industries enjoying the greatest expansion.

“I am sure next week’s results will prove to be fascinating reading for everyone concerned with business success across the region and will set the stage for the Yorkshire Fastest 50 awards later this month.”

In-depth research has been used to put together the Yorkshire Fastest 50 with challenging criteria deployed to create the final list.
