Following hard on the heels of their third Deloitte Fast 50 list success, Nitec Solutions have become one of just three Northern Irish companies to be honoured with a place in the 2003 European Fast 500, announced at a Gala dinner in the London Natural History Museum.

The annual Deloitte Fast 500 list is a prestigious indicator of the top performing companies throughout Europe based on percentage growth over a five year period. With a remarkable 601% growth rate over the qualifying period, Nitec placed a creditable 220th in the top half of the overall list.

Finance Director, Peter McMahon, said: “We are delighted to receive this recognition. To have made this prestigious list of the most successful technology companies in the whole of Europe is a fantastic achievement for Nitec and demonstrates our ability to not only generate growth but to sustain it over the long haul”.

Nitec specialises in building consultative information technology partnerships with organisations within the small-to-medium enterprise sector. Their growth has been sustained by sticking to their core values of providing turnkey solutions and trusted advice to their clients.

Nitec’s commitment to the development and thorough testing of cutting-edge technologies in their own facilities allows businesses of any size to draw upon the very latest stable innovations to boost productivity and cut costs.
