Edison Smart has been recognised as one of the fifty fastest-growing businesses in the South of England by the UK Fast Growth Index 2025, the national programme that identifies and celebrates the UK’s most rapidly expanding companies.
This recognition highlights Edison Smart’s exceptional impact within the recruitment industry, its sustained growth, and its commitment to innovation. While fast-growth firms represent only a small percentage of all UK businesses, they account for a substantial share of job creation and economic prosperity each year. These companies are often at the forefront of their industries, driving innovation through new services, solutions, and ways of working — and Edison Smart is proud to be among them.
All firms included in the UK Fast Growth Index 2025 have also been shortlisted for the UK Fast Growth Awards, taking place in London on November 26th, where the winners will be recognised as the fastest-growing companies across their respective sectors and regions.
About the UK Fast Growth Index
The UK Fast Growth Index identifies the fifty fastest-growing companies across seven regions and nations — London, the Midlands and East of England, the North of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, the South of England, and Wales. In 2024, the 350 companies featured collectively increased turnover by £9.6 billion between 2021 and 2023 and created 24,000 new jobs in just two years.
Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE, Founder of the UK Fast Growth Index, commented:
“The UK Fast Growth Index demonstrates how a small number of fast-growing firms such as Edison Smart 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.”
