TelecityGroup recognised in 2008 Fast Growth Business Awards
Shortlisted for ‘International Business of the Year’
15 February 2008: TelecityGroup, the leading pan-European provider of network independent data centres, today announced it has been shortlisted for the ‘International Business of the Year’, in the 2008 Fast Growth Business Awards.
The awards - organised in conjunction with Growing Business magazine - are an independent scheme designed to raise awareness and celebrate the UK’s fastest growing businesses and the people running them. The short-listing recognises TelecityGroup’s significant expansion across key European territories, including a successful IPO on the London Stock Exchange in October.
Mike Tobin, CEO at TelecityGroup, said: “It’s a great honour to be short-listed by the Fast Growth Business Awards and a reflection of the hard work and dedication that TelecityGroup employees contribute to the business. The last year has seen considerable investment in key countries including the UK, France, and the Netherlands and a successful IPO in October. We have established ourselves as the leading content and connectivity hub for enterprises and service providers across Europe, and are pleased to be recognised for this achievement by the Fast Growth Business Awards.”
The awards are judged by a panel of entrepreneurs, industry experts and business journalists including: Peter Jones, entrepreneur and star of BBC’s Dragons’ Den; Simon Kossoff, MD, Carluccios; Rene Carayol, business guru and TV presenter and Paul Hick, founder, Maximuscle Ltd (last years winner).
“Entrepreneurs are crucial to the development of the UK economy and are at the heart of job and wealth creation – therefore it is fantastic to see so many exciting growing businesses represented in the Fast Growth Business Awards” comments Ian Wallis, editor, Growing Business Magazine.
Winners of the awards will be announced at a prestigious awards ceremony at the London Marriott on 12 March 2008. Of the 14 category winners, one business will be crowned the T-Mobile Fast Growth Business of the Year.
