5 Meet Kent’s 50 fastest growing businesses

As any business owner can attest the past few years have presented many obstacles to growth. We’ve navigated through Brexit, a pandemic, fluctuating interest rates, geopolitical tensions and the ongoing hostilities in Ukraine. Yet, despite these challenges many of Kent’s businesses have stayed resilient and achieved remarkable growth rates.

In late March, we had the pleasure of hosting Kent’s 50 fastest-growing, privately-owned businesses for a special breakfast at the Tudor Park Country Club. This event celebrated their outstanding achievements as part of the 2025 MegaGrowth 50.

Driven by determination, guided by sharp business acumen, and supported by incredible teams, these businesses have seen impressive growth in turnover over the past four years. It was truly rewarding to honour their hard work and commend them for their well-deserved success.

Such success has been achieved through various means, some earning their place on the list by excelling in niche markets and some by embracing new product lines. A common theme amongst many of the businesses listed in the MegaGrowth 50 is that skilled and dedicated people are often the key to their success.

Now in its 21st year, the MegaGrowth 50 is proudly presented by accountants and business advisers Kreston Reeves, leading law firm Brachers, under the license of KM Media Group and in partnership with the Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce.

James Bullock, Head of Corporate and Commercial at Brachers, said: “Once again, MegaGrowth 50 has offered an incredible platform to celebrate some of the county’s most impressive businesses. Through conversations with the leaders of these companies, it’s evident that success comes from a combination of a robust business model, innovative approaches, strategic vision, and the ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances. Each MegaGrowth 50 firm exemplifies these qualities, and I commend them for their outstanding achievements.”

Nigel Fright, Managing Partner at Kreston Reeves, commented:

“Businesses across the UK continue to navigate extraordinary challenges. The lingering effects of Brexit, coupled with inflationary turbulence, have significantly complicated business operations. Additionally, the need to stay abreast of constantly evolving regulations, especially in business tax, presents a formidable task.” and resilience in our clients, reflecting the entrepreneurial spirit that defines Kent’s business community.”

He continued: “In this challenging environment, it’s truly inspiring to recognise the businesses that have earned a place in the MegaGrowth 50. These companies have not only survived but thrived, contributing to the region’s impressive growth. We see this same determination

Tudor Price, Chief Executive at Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce, said: “This is the second year that the Chamber has supported MegaGrowth 50. It was a delight to meet some of the successful businesses at the awards presentation, which pleasingly included several of our members. The MegaGrowth 50 businesses are a great success story for our county, demonstrating that Kent remains a prime hotspot for doing business in the UK. The Chamber is always here to support and advise local businesses through the opportunities and challenges that come with a fast-growth journey. We hope, consequently, that many more of our members will earn a place in this prestigious ranking in the years to come.”
