The survey found that over one half, 29 out of 50, of the fastest growing technology companies in London and the South East are software developers. The study said:
"…the status of the London & South East region as a leading world technology centre is strengthening with each year… the technology population is growing, and a number of quality independent companies in the region have grown up alongside multinationals which play a key role in training and attracting a skilled workforce to the area."
According to the Fast 50, the fastest growing tech firm in the region is InferMed, a medical software developer which has enjoyed a growth in turnover of nearly 5,000% since 1998, increasing from £25,000 in 1998 to £1.19m in 2000.
The release of figures for the South East begins Deloitte and Touche’s nationwide analysis of the fastest businesses in the UK.
