‘The UK Fast Growth 50 Index demonstrates that a small number of fast growth firms, such as Mattress Online, 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,’ says Professor Dylan Jones-Evans, Fast Growth 50 founder.
‘To be acknowledged regionally for our growth by the Fast Growth 50 is incredible. The recognition we’ve gained over the past couple of years celebrating our growth, culture and entrepreneurialism is more than we could ever have wished for. We’re a retail business in a traditional market but we lead from the front with innovation and our own tech and that’s fairly rare for a retailer, especially an ecommerce retailer. We’ve built from the ground up, developed our own website, our ecommerce platform, we have our own back-end systems – all developed with the customer at the forefront. We’re always looking to the future and how we can add value for customers and everyone in our supply chain – particularly those in Yorkshire. I’m incredibly proud of what the team has achieved together, says Steve Adams, Mattress Online ceo.
