Anesco tops 2013 Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100
Anesco named UK’s fastest growing private company.
National energy efficiency solutions company, Anesco, has been named the UK’s fastest growing private company, after taking the top spot in the prestigious Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100.
The high profile league table highlights the 100 private companies who have had the fastest-growing sales over their latest three years.
The accolade follows an outstanding year for Anesco, which has seen the company increase its revenue by 257%, grow its team by over a quarter and become one of the youngest companies to achieve a RoSPA Gold Award for occupational health and safety.
After growing revenue from £21million to £55.1million in the last financial year, the company expects to exceed its target of £100million by financial year end March 2014.
Adrian Pike, CEO of Anesco, said: “What an amazing Christmas present! To be ranked number one is just unbelievable."
“2013 has been an absolutely phenomenal year for Anesco. We’ve achieved so much and that’s down to the team we’ve pulled together and all their hard work. People are at the heart of what we do and that’s why we’re so proud of our Investors in People gold standard. We wouldn’t be where we are today without their dedication.”
Sustained growth has seen Anesco grow to a workforce of 98 permanent employees, with up to 350 contractors employed at any one time and more than 30 supply chain partners and logistics staff.
Through its work with businesses, local authorities and homeowners, Anesco has helped to take over 40,000 people out of fuel poverty. The renewable technologies it has deployed are now generating enough power for more than 45,000 homes, saving over 72,000 tonnes of carbon per year.
Anesco’s industry-leading renewable assets maintenance service, AnescoMeter, is monitoring over 11,000 UK solar installations, which to date have achieved a total carbon saving of over 37,000.
“There’s a mantra we use at Anesco, ‘have fun, make a difference and make money’, and that’s exactly what we’ve done. As a company, we operate with strong values that run through everything we do and we look to build lasting relationships with both customers and suppliers alike,” added Adrian.
“2014 is already shaping up to be a fantastic year, as we expand into new markets and begin taking on our first projects outside of the UK. As an industry, energy efficiency is a great one to be in and we continue to go from strength to strength.”
It’s been a year of achievement for Anesco, which earlier this year was recognised as the second fastest growing cleantech company in Europe as part of the Cleantech Connect Awards, where the company also received a special judges’ award.
Anesco has also been named one of the top 100 cleantech companies in the world as part of the The Global Cleantech 100 and the senior team were declared venture capital backed management team of the year by the BVCA.
In The Growing Business Awards 2013, which seek to find the country’s most exceptional entrepreneurs and to highlight the most pioneering UK firms who are bringing new thinking to their markets, Anesco was awarded Young Company of the Year, with CEO Adrian Pike named Entrepreneur of the Year.
