Maxxima are 6th Fastest Growing Company in the UK

Public Sector recruitment specialists, Maxxima Ltd, have been named the sixth fastest growing company in the UK in the tenth annual ìFast Track 100î awards.

The prestigious award, sponsored by Virgin Atlantic, HSBC, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Microsoft, KPMG and Deloitte and published by the Sunday Times, ranks Britainís hundred fastest-growing unquoted companies by analysing sales growth between 2002 and 2005. Last yearís winner was hair styling manufacturers ghd with other previously ranked companies including Innocent Fruit Drinks, Gordon Ramsey Holdings and Jimmy Choo Shoes.

Maxxima Ltd trades under two brand names, Labmed Recruitment which specialises in finding jobs for healthcare professionals such as Biomedical Scientists, Radiographers and Pharmacists and Swim Recruitment which places Social Workers, Housing Staff and Care Staff with Local Authorities and Housing Providers throughout the UK. Since the companyís inauguration in 2001, Maxximaís turnover has grown from just over million at the end of 2002 to 7.5million at the end of 2005. Sales for 2006 are expected to show equally impressive growth with turnover expected to be in the region of 12.5million.

Maxxima has established an enviable reputation in the recruitment industry by specializing in hard-to-fill vacancies such as Pathologists, Cancer Treatment Radiotherapists and Children and Families Social Workers. The company has also brought greater transparency to its temporary worker pay rates, working with clients to ensure greater clarity in its dealings and challenging the traditional capitalistic stereotype of the recruitment agency.

Company Director Martin Harris is understandably proud of his companyís achievements. ìThis company has been built on a foundation of sound ethics. We identified that the market was crying out for an honest company able to provide staff that were in high demand and short supply. Our success has been testimony to that philosophy and we are immensely proud that this award now provides us with official recognition of that.î

The Fast Track 100 list was published in a special Sunday Times supplement on Sunday 3rd December. Representatives from the 100 ranked companies are honoured at an awards dinner held at the home of Sir Richard Branson, Chairman of title sponsors Virgin Atlantic.
