Sand Resources - One Of The UKís Fastest Growing Companies

Results of a new nationwide survey has ranked Sand Resources, an IT recruitment agency based in Tunbridge Wells, as one of the UKís fastest growing privately owned companies.

The Hot 100 survey results published in Real Business magazine considers the UKís two million limited companies and then ranks the top 100 fastest-growing private companies, which this year features Sand Resources in 92nd position.

With an average annual sales growth of 62.8% and a turnover of 3.7 m in their last financial year, Sand Resources appears as one of just four companies in Kent to be featured in the Top 100, and one of seven recruitment consultants nationally, of which just three specialise in IT.

Commenting on the survey results David Seear, Joint Managing Director of Sand Resources said: ìWe are delighted that our hard work over the last few years has been recognised in this way. Since launching the business in 1999 our industry has not always enjoyed particularly buoyant trading conditions, and at times it has felt like we were trying to push water uphill. This makes our ranking and the ability to sustain such strong growth all the more rewarding. The secret of our success is simply that we have always kept to our core values, which are to employ, train and empower quality staff and deliver great service to our customersî.

Andy Scott, client partner at business advisory group Vantis, (sponsors of the Hot 100) says: The diversity of successful businesses in this yearís Hot 100 proves that how you put your ideas into practice is just as important as the original concept. Companies which empower their people, and combine the right structure and clear objectives with innovation can build sustainable businesses, with good profits.î
