The aim of the FT1000 is to recognise innovative and fast-growing companies across Europe which are the driving force of economies throughout this economic area.

John Spiers, Chief Executive at EQ, said: “We are delighted to have been recognised in the first edition of this ranking. Growth is a positive indicator of a healthy business and demonstrates that we’re heading in the right direction. Innovative, fast-growing companies are the driving force of the economy, and it’s good to be one of them!

“This ranking is achieved across all industries and demonstrates our commitment to building one of the UK’s finest wealth management businesses.”

The report, conducted by The Financial Times and Statista considered over 50,000 European organisations and identified 1,000 companies with the strongest growth between 2012 and 2015.
