The Fast Growth Business Awards is always a lively and champagne soaked affair. The only difference this year was that it gave business owners a much needed chance to forget about the negativity enveloping the UK and give themselves a well-deserved pat on the back for all of their companies’ efforts. Shortlisted for the awards were 44 companies that spanned a wide-range of sectors, from manufacturing to retail, IT and marketing - FGBA shortlisted companies can provide you with anything from security guards to make-up. The diversity was impressive and it was inspiring to see so many bright people with such fantastic ideas all in one place.		HEADLINE SPONSOR   GOLD SPONSORs           PARTNERS
