Thrive has been recognised as the 8th fastest-growing business and 1st fastest-growing technology and digital firm in the Midlands and East of England.

 

This is part of the Fast Growth 50 index for 2023, which identifies the fifty fastest-growing companies across six nations and regions, including the Midlands and East of England. This achievement underlines Thrive's significant impact on the Midlands and East of England's economy and its capacity for growth and innovation.

The Fast Growth 50 is an annual index that identifies the top 50 fastest-growing companies in six nations and regions, including the Midlands and East of England. This year's index for the Midlands and East of England has highlighted businesses from multiple sectors that together generated a turnover of £3.2 billion, at an average growth rate of 202%, with the creation of over 5K jobs last year.

Being part of the Fast Growth 50 list, Thrive has shown strong performance and made a positive contribution to the economy and community.

Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE, Founder of Fast Growth 50 said:

“The UK Fast Growth 50 Index demonstrates that a small number of fast growth firms, such as Thrive make a substantial contribution to the UK’s economic landscape, providing real examples of how innovation, enterprise and sheer hard work can make a real difference in all sectors from construction to financial services to technology.

Their incredible growth during difficult times shows that through generating wealth and jobs in their local communities, entrepreneurship is the cornerstone of regional and national prosperity. Most important of all, their success stories demonstrate the impact of ambition and adaptability, providing a blueprint for sustainable growth that will hopefully inspire others to follow a similar journey.”

Sean Reddington, CEO and Founder of Thrive commented: 

"To us, fast growth isn’t just about the numbers, it's about the relentless pursuit of innovation and impact. 

We're honoured to be recognised as the 8th fastest-growing business and the leading technology and digital firm in the Midlands and East of England, where I’m proud to live and have grown up!

This achievement is a testament to our team's dedication and commitment to pushing boundaries in the ever-evolving landscape of tech and digital solutions."
