Entanet has achieved further recognition of its significant levels of organic growth with a ranking of 435th in this year's Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA.

The privately-owned communications provider achieved the ranking based on a revenue growth rate of 413 per cent over the last five years.

Entanet's Head of Marketing, Darren Farnden, said: "To feature in a ranking of the top 500 technology companies across 26 countries in EMEA is a real achievement. We believe our sustained growth is due to our commitment to innovation and investment."

As part of the annual ranking, Deloitte surveyed the companies about their explosive growth and their thoughts on the opportunities, challenges and threats they face. As part of this process, the company looks at how firms have innovated and invested in ongoing research and development.

Entanet made the decision two years ago to invest in creating a UK-wide network infrastructure and become an early adopter of next generation connectivity services. "Our strategic commitment to being the first non-BT company to take WBC at all of the 20 locations that form 21CN is a reflection of the ambition and determination of Entanet to invest in the future," said Farnden.

David Halstead, partner in charge of Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 EMEA programme, noted: "Making the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA ranking is a testament to a company's commitment to technology. Because Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA measures sustained revenue growth over five years, being one of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in EMEA is an impressive achievement. Entanet deserves a lot of credit for its remarkable growth."
