Leaf Consultancy has been ranked as the second fastest growing technology company in Northern Ireland and the eighth fastest growing in Ireland, the highest rankings for any ICT Support and Solutions Company.
News of Leaf’s impressive growth came at the 2010 Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Awards at the Europa Hotel, Belfast on Friday 12th November. Rankings are based on average percentage revenue growth over five years. Leaf grew by 868% during this period.
Receiving the Award, Steven Goldblatt, Managing Director, Leaf Consultancy he was delighted with the company’s performance and attributed the impressive level of growth to the commitment of the Leaf ICT support and solutions team as well as the company’s technology partners.
“The achievement of the respective second and eighth rankings would not have been possible without the hard work and determination of everyone in the Leaf team. Established in 2003, we are a young and ambitious team. While individual contracts can make a significant difference to sales levels in any given year, our ability to sustain year on year growth over a five year period demonstrates a consistent level of customer service and technical expertise.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the international technology companies with whom we partner in the delivery of customer solutions and support, such as Cisco, SonicWall, Microsoft and IBM. Their support and technical guidance has played an important part in the growth of the business to date.” said Steven Goldblatt.
