This is the first time that Focus 4 U has appeared in the league table. Having started trading in 2004, the company has seen impressive growth year on year. Figures published in the Sunday Times show the company growing from a turnover of £1.6 million in 2006 to a turnover of £5.9 million in 2009. Its annual sales growth for the year ended 2009 hit 53%.
Specialising in fixed and mobile telecoms solutions for businesses, Focus 4 U looks after in excess of 3000 clients and has a channel of over 40 resellers. Co-founder and sales director, Chris Goodman, has had his sites set on the Tech Track 100 for a few years: “We have a very dedicated team of staff and our inclusion in this league table is the culmination of their hard work over a number of years. It means that we’re one of the fastest growing privately-owned resellers of fixed & mobile minutes in the UK.”
The annual Tech Track league table is made up of Britain’s 100 privately owned technology, media and telecoms companies with the fastest growing sales over the last three years.
Sponsored by Microsoft, Barclays Commercial Bank and BDO Stoy Hayward, this is the ninth year that the league table has been compiled and it has been endorsed by business leaders and political figures alike. Sir Richard Branson of the Virgin Group commented: “Fast Track has become a definitive barometer of growth companies".
Focus 4 U also has the chance to be recognised in the Sussex Business Awards and Brighton & Hove Business Awards (BAHBAS) as Best Employer and Best Customer Service respectively.
