2degrees’
New Zealand’s Fastest Growing Technology
Company
For the second year in a row, 2degree’s
has taken the title of ‘New Zealand’s number one fastest
growing technology company’ in the Deloitte Fast50
awards.
The awards, which were announced last night, also
saw 2degrees place 6th in the overall annual list of fastest
growing companies with growth of 536% over the past three
years.
2degrees CEO Eric Hertz says the company is
delighted with the result.
“It’s great for the team
to be recognised once again for the phenomenal growth we
have achieved. Thanks to our entrepreneurial attitude and
disruptive innovation, we have created value-based mobile
services at market leading prices for kiwis.
Our entry in to the market showed New Zealanders were ready for a better deal with over one million kiwis voting with their feet and already joining 2degrees.”
Looking ahead, Mr Hertz says the company is focused on maintaining momentum.
“We will continue to invest in our
network and grow the business further through smart,
customer-centric products and services for our prepay and
pay monthly customers, coupled with even more focus on the
business market.”
