The Technology Fast 50 programme seeks out those
companies, which have shown impressive growth rates in the telecommunications,
hardware, software and biotechnology markets.
In this year's London and the South East regional
final the lowest growth rate from 1997 to 1999 is identified as
being an impressive 50% with the highest at 2,939%.

"The past year has been an unpredictable
one for the UK technology sector. The technology market is maturing
fast and UK companies are rapidly joining the ranks of other more
established companies as international leaders," says Abbey
Shasore.
"As one of the Deloitte & Touche Fast
50 companies we look forward to continuing to grasp and benefit
from the growth opportunities available.
"Technology companies are the key to a buoyant
economy and employment growth in the region and the UK as a whole
an we are delighted to be a winner."
The London and South East final was held at the
Royal Lancaster Hotel in London on 29 November 2000.
