Online trade printer Route One Print has cemented its place in the Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100, after continuing impressive growth in 2016.

The Yorkshire based business was named 88th in the list of Britain’s fastest growing private companies after seeing their revenue grow by an average of 54% per year over the past three years.

Founded in 2012 by Adam Carnell and James Kinsella, the business now employs a team of more than 260, including the addition of 92 in the past 12 months.

In 2015, Route One Print became the first Rotherham based firm to make the list, taking position 50 having averaged 62% growth over the previous three years, a feat that has now been repeated in 2016.

Route One Print co-founder Adam Carnell said, ‘It is terrific that we have been able to retain our place in the Fast Track 100 and are amongst such a prestigious cohort of companies. Our business has continued to grow at a tremendous rate this year; we have added a great group of new faces to the company, built on our revenue, and been able to invest in more production equipment.

‘We have worked hard to gain this success since Route One Print was founded and being named in the Fast Track 100 for a second straight year is a testament to everyone that works for the business.’

Route One Print is part of the Bluetree Group, created in 2012 alongside sister companies instantprint and Bluetree Point of Sale.

To qualify for the Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100 a business needs to have grown sales by at least 42% for three consecutive years, achieved over £5 million sales in the final year and achieved an operating profit of over £500,000 in the final year.

James Kinsella commented, ‘This is such a fantastic accolade for Route One Print to receive, especially for a second consecutive year. Over the past few years the team have worked incredibly hard to keep developing our proposition and moving the business forward in a very competitive market. It’s great to see UK manufacturing performing and it’s a credit to the team we have here.’
