QuoStar named one of the UK’s fastest-growing companies by The Sunday Times
Another accolade comes hot-on-the-heels of being named an MSP 501 winner
July 26th, 2024
QuoStar has hit plenty of milestones over the past two decades. But the past few weeks have been particularly special. First, the company was named as one of the top managed service providers (MSPs) in the world by Channel Futures MSP 501. And today, we’re following that up with inclusion on the famed Sunday Times 100 list.
It’s another tremendous accolade, but we’re grounded in our commitment to delivering the best outcomes for our clients, which has been central to our success and will continue to be our touch-stone. This recognition reflects the win-win partnerships we’ve cultivated over the years and underscores our dedication to maintaining these standards.
Following in the footsteps
The Sunday Times 100 has been around in some form or another for over a quarter of a century. The league table ranks the top 100 independent, privately owned companies in the country with sales of over £5m that recorded the fastest-growing sales over the past three years. Over the years, it’s played host to some of the UK’s biggest and most important names, including Carphone Warehouse, retailer Boden and chip giant Arm Holdings – which was sold to Softbank for over £20bn.
Richard Tyler, Founding Editor of The Sunday Times 100, explains that it’s increasingly challenging for even fast-growing British companies to make it onto the prestigious list.
“The pace of growth required to secure a place on the league table has shot up this year, so QuoStar should be particularly proud of its achievements in what have remained challenging trading conditions,” he says.
QuoStar CEO, Robert Rutherford, adds his thanks to both the firm’s employees and clients. “This outstanding achievement reflects our performance over the past few years and is a testament to the dedication, effort, values, and skills of our entire team. We always knew we were doing something great – now a major award confirms it,” he says.
Keeping things simple
Today, QuoStar employs over 100 people and serves hundreds of clients across the UK and overseas, from offices in Bournemouth, London and Leeds. Yet despite our continuous growth trajectory over the years, the mission hasn’t changed.
It’s not about chasing growth for growth’s sake. It’s about continuing to do the simple things well. Building solid client relationships. Taking time to understand their unique requirements. And using our decades of in-house IT expertise to deliver exactly what they need to succeed.
These tenets will always be central to the QuoStar way of doing things. We can’t wait to see what the future holds.
QuoStar will join other Sunday Times 100 founders and directors in celebrating at an invitation-only networking dinner on Wednesday, 18th September at The British Museum.
