Posted: 28.10.09

C4L, the leading colocation provider, and owners of the UK's largest privately owned data centre network, ranked as the 12th Fastest Growing Technology Company in the UK in the 2009 Deloitte Technology Fast 50

"Because the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 measures sustained revenue growth over five years, being one of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the UK is an impressive achievement," said Deloitte Technology partner for the South West, Laurence Hedditch. "C4L deserves a lot of credit for its remarkable growth."

C4L attributes its 3245% revenue growth to the continuing expansion of their data centre network, and the ongoing commitment to research and development of new services for their customers. C4L's data centre network now consists of 30 data centres, giving customers unsurpassed levels of choice when considering their colocation requirements. C4L have also launched their data storage and data backup services in the past year, the latter offering mirrored (at geographically diverse locations), automated and secure storage.

Matt Hawkins, C4L's founder and Managing Director was understandably delighted with C4L's high ranking, “We're pleased to have been ranked 12th overall, but also to be the fastest growing colocation provider in the UK is extremely gratifying and a great reward for the efforts of our staff over the past year. Being the 2nd fastest growing technology company in the Southern regions is also great news, as is being the 5th fastest growing non-London company."

C4L doesn't intend to stop growing any time soon, Matt continues; “This is the latest in what we hope to make a long line of awards recognising our growth and excellence in other areas. We were also finalists in 2 categories of the ISPA (Internet Service Provider Association) awards this year, so this has been a good year for us. Our Bournemouth data centre is due for first phase completion in December, and we've also launched our wireless leased lines service, so there is every reason to expect our strong growth to continue for years to come. As always, our focus is on ensuring we save our clients money and provide the complete solution for their online requirements, as this is what has kept us well ahead of the market, stimulating our growth."
