2011 Deloitte Fast 50 entries open

Search for New Zealand's fastest growing businesses begins

The 2011 Deloitte Fast 50, the index for New Zealand's fastest growing businesses, is open for entries from today.

It is the 11th year that high-growth businesses from throughout the country have been invited to benchmark their business growth over the past three years against each other.

National leader of the Fast 50 programme, Deloitte partner Matt McKendry, says the Fast 50 continues to be the leading barometer of the country's most successful and innovative up-and-coming businesses.

"The Fast 50 sets the standard for emerging businesses to aim for," Mr McKendry says.

"It continues to be on the wish-list of a number of entrepreneurs setting up new businesses around the country because recognising their revenue growth is the best way to truly celebrate their success."

Mr McKendry encourages all businesses to enter the 2011 Deloitte Fast 50, by filling out the simple online entry form at www.fast50.co.nz.

"The entry process is relatively easy while the rewards from making the list are innumerable. Businesses will receive considerable local and national media attention, raising their profile among the wider business community but also, and perhaps more critically, from investors looking for destinations for capital."

"And not to be overlooked is the huge boost to staff morale from making the Deloitte Fast 50," he says.
