Champions Speakers Agency named in 2024 UK fast growth index

The Champions Speakers Agency is celebrating being named one of the fastest growing firms in the UK.

Already officially Europe’s largest keynote speaker bureau, the agency has now been recognised as one of the country’s most entrepreneurial businesses.

The award has been handed out by the 2024 UK Fast Growth Index, who analysed thousands of businesses.

Judges placed Champions Speakers, based in Costock, Lougborough in the Midlands and the East of England Fast Growth 50 list – which ranks the fifty fastest businesses in that region.

Collectively, the 350 businesses featured on this year’s index are generating over £12 billion in turnover, making a significant contribution to the UK economy.

Champions Speakers  will be recognised as one of the fastest growing firms in the UK out of more than 5.6 million firms – an incredible achievement.

The success will be celebrated at the iconic Bloomsbury Big Top in London on Thursday, November 28th.

Jack Hayes, the director of Champions Speakers, said: “We’re delighted to feature as part of the Fast Growth Index. The award is a testament to the incredible growth Champions Speakers has seen in recent years.
