The Financial Times, in partnership with Statista, has published its inaugural ranking of the UK's Fastest-Growing Companies. The list ranks companies based on revenue growth between 2022 and 2025. Healf, an online wellness retailer, claimed the top position with a compound annual growth rate of 669 per cent.
Fuse Energy, which helps customers find cheaper prices, secured second place. Overall, 150 companies were ranked. "Fintech, financial services and insurance" emerged as the most represented sector with 32 firms, followed by IT and software with 25. The ranking highlights the resilience of growth companies amidst the pandemic and energy crisis.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Chancellor John Healey both commented on the importance of economic growth. The methodology required companies to have generated at least £100,000 in revenue in 2022 and £1.5 million in 2025, with a minimum Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 22.7 per cent to qualify. Companies had to be independent and headquartered in the UK.
The application phase ran from May to July 2026, with revenue figures certified by senior executives.
