Redrock Consulting achieves growth of 131% in three years

7 March 2010 – Bristol-based Redrock Consulting, provider of bespoke IT staffing solutions, is defying the economic downturn having been ranked 17th in The Sunday Times’ league table of 2009’s British private companies with the fastest-growing sales.

The Fast Track 100, which is published in The Sunday Times at the end of each year, has previously featured companies such as Innocent Smoothies, Dyson and The Carphone Warehouse. Redrock, which was founded five years ago, secured its strong position in the league table by achieving annual sales growth of 131 per cent over three years.

One of the founding members, managing director Dean Harte, commented: “It’s fantastic to be recognised as one of the top British companies for sales growth. The Fast Track 100 is a prestigious league table that has previously featured some very high profile companies, so we’re delighted to be a part of it.

“The business community has had a tough time over the last year or so, but as one of 12 Southwest companies featured in the list we feel the region has a very strong business offering and will be in a good position for recovery.”

Redrock’s clients include household names such as Orange, Motorola and Alcatel-Lucent.

Kevin Harris, Director of Technical Services at Alcatel Lucent said of their work with Redrock: “We know from our own experience that growth is driven by market leading customer service coupled with cutting edge innovation. We’re a demanding client – but Redrock delivers consistently”.

Collectively the 12 Southwest businesses featured in the Fast Track 100 directly employ 1,477 people and have created 1,116 jobs. Sales have grown by an average of 110 per cent a year to combined sales of more than £301 million, and predict further sales growth of 35 per cent in the coming year.
