About the UK Fast Growth Index

As one of the 350 firms identified through the lists, Challenge-trg Group contributed to the 2024 UK Fast Growth Index’s collective turnover increase of £9.6 billion between 2021 and 2023 and the creation of 24,000 new jobs in two years.
Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE, Founder UK Fast Growth Index said:
“The UK Fast Growth Index demonstrates how a small number of fast-growing firms such as Challenge-trg Group can make a substantial contribution to the UK’s economic landscape, providing real examples of how innovation, enterprise and sheer hard work can make a real difference in all sectors from construction to financial services to technology. This small group of businesses that grow quickly continue to play a significant role in driving economic growth. They create jobs and contribute to the economic development of the communities in which they are based. By highlighting the success of these companies across a range of sectors, the UK Fast Growth Index emphasises the importance of supporting and nurturing the private sector in every nation and region of the UK”.
