Simpson Carpenter Named in Top 100 Fastest Growing Companies
December 13 2002

 

For the first time ever, a research agency has been featured in the Sunday Times Virgin Atlantic Fast Track 100, the list of the 100 most dynamic companies in the UK.

Simpson Carpenter have grown fast since they set up just 4 years ago and have put on another 30% growth spurt since the Sunday Times figures were collected. With 2002 revenues expected to be around £5.3 million, they are now close to top 20 agency status.

According to Tom Simpson, Managing Director of Simpson Carpenter, 'We are absolutely delighted to be recognised in this way. Our success to date has been due to recognising a real need amongst our clients. So often client side researchers are faced with ever greater demands for information, an increased technological capability to produce it, but with less and less time to actually analyse it, interpret it and use it. Our focus is always to distil the information we collect, making it simpler for clients to use and easier for them to make their decisions. This, coupled with a genuine sector expertise in the markets we serve - automotive, retail, telecommunications and transport- enables us to bridge the gap between traditional market research agencies, with their heavy emphasis on data collection, and management consultancies offering advice and industry expertise. This market positioning has helped us to attract both interesting and challenging clients and, equally importantly, the first rate researchers we need to service them.'
