Deloitte is calling on the North West’s most innovative and rapidly growing technology scale-ups to apply for the firm’s prestigious UK Technology Fast 50. Applications for this year's programme are officially open.

The annual ranking celebrates the fastest-growing tech companies across the UK, based on average revenue growth over a three-year period. Last year’s Technology Fast 50 winners had a collective average three-year growth rate of 1,905% and generated total revenues of £2.41 billion in 2024/25.

Based in Manchester, legal tech company Summize was named as the North West regional winner in last year’s Technology Fast 50, ranking 10th overall with a three-year growth rate of 2,678%.

Tom Dunlop, Summize CEO, said: “We were proud to be recognised as a regional winner in last year’s Deloitte Fast 50. The programme is a fantastic celebration of innovation, ambition and growth across the tech ecosystem in the UK. To be included among such a high calibre of businesses was a great achievement for everyone at Summize.

“We would strongly encourage any eligible businesses to apply this year – it’s a powerful way to highlight your growth and stand out in what is a competitive market.”

Kiren Asad, lead partner for the Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50 programme, said: "Securing a spot on the Fast 50 ranking offers a unique opportunity to create new opportunities for investment and partnerships; elevate your profile and credibility within the competitive tech landscape; and position your company as an employer of choice for top tech professionals.

“If your company is on a growth trajectory, pushing boundaries, and ready for that next big leap, then this is something you should be looking at – don’t miss the chance to showcase your achievements and elevate your brand on a national stage.”
