Contigo attend the prestigious Deloitte Technology Fast 50 awards
Jon Yeomans, 27/Nov/2011
Adrian Bullock (Technical Director) and Jonathan Yeomans (Marketing and Operations Director) attended the Deloitte 2011 UK Fast 50 and EMEA Fast 500 awards ceremony on Thursday 24th November which were held in the historic Tower of London.
The Awards were presented by David Halstead, partner leading the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 with a key note address on the future of technology by the BBC's Rory Cellan-Jones.
The awards evening was an incredible opportunity for over 500 of the Europes emerging entrepreneurs to meet, share stories of success and to network with like minded individuals. Deloitte had arranged a private viewing of the famous Crown Jewels which are kept safely under lock and key at the Tower. Following the viewing, a sumptuous evening dinner and awards presentations bought the occasion to a close.
Jon Yeomans said "I found the whole Deloitte event incredibly rewarding. Having the opportunity to hear the thoughts of the previous Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50 winners on areas such as how and why they created their companies, the challenges they experienced along the way and the impact the Deloitte award has had on their companies was extremely interesting and thought provoking.
“Adrian and I had the opportunity to meet a number of the current and previous award winners, such as Fixnetix which won the UK Fast 50 award this year. Like Contigo, Fixnetix is a trading technology company which provides solutions for high-speed access for trading information and executing trades. Exploring the synergies between Contigo’s enTrader ETRM/CTRM platform and Fixnetix’s software and services was particularly useful.”

David Halstead, partner leading the Deloitte Technology Fast 50, said: “The 2011 Deloitte Fast 50 shows that tremendous growth rates are still possible, with internet and software sectors showing particular strength and making up over half (56%) of the companies in the Fast 50 ranking.
“The Technology Fast 50 awards are an opportunity for businesses to gain recognition for their successes and achievements over the last five years. This year’s ranking highlights the importance of finding a niche product or service to beat the recession.”
