Now in its 20th year, Kent's annual list of its fastest-growing businesses is put together based on the average turnover growth of privately owned businesses that have a minimum turnover of £1 million, as stipulated in full accounts registered at Companies House across the last four years.
Businesses with notable turnover growth over recent years that do not register full accounts at Companies House are also recognised and are invited to submit their accounts for consideration.
MegaGrowth 50 is brought to you by business advisors and accountants Kreston Reeves and leading law firm Brachers in partnership with Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce.
"It’s always great to see Kent businesses doing well and the USP of the MegaGrowth 50 is that, unlike traditional business awards, it picks up fantastic success stories of businesses who don’t ever shout about it. Kreston Reeves has been honoured to be associated with the MegaGrowth 50 for over 10 years and taking part in recognising Kent businesses for their growth, as well as highlighting that this county is a great place to do business."
Nigel Fright, Managing Partner, Kreston Reeves
"This year we’ll be celebrating those who have not only survived but thrived in the face of a challenging economic environment. As a firm, we love a good success story and we’re lucky to work in a county with so many thriving and entrepreneurial businesses. We’re looking forward to hearing about the achievements of local organisations across Kent, particularly the hidden gems that MegaGrowth 50 has always been so good at putting in the spotlight."
James Bullock, Head of Corporate and Commercial, Brachers
