LNT Group scoop Sunday Times Fast Track 100 Best Management Team award

The diverse range of companies housed in the LNT Group picked up an award this week for Best Management Team at the Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100 conference and awards dinner at the home of Sir Richard Branson in Oxfordshire.

Beating all other 99 companies in the Fast Track League Table, the award sponsored by the UK firm of international accountancy network BDO was presented to me by Corporate Finance Partner at BDO, Alex White, as Ideal Care Homes was recognised for its proficient team who are set to triple the number of private care beds we provide to 3,000 in three years.

I was delighted to receive such a prestigious award in front of 100 of the fastest growing companies in the UK. It endorses our open and inclusive style of social entrepreneurship where everyone in the group is a shareholder and benefits from its success.

Our group of companies has been recognised by the Sunday Times as the 28th fastest growing company in Britain and as the fastest growing company in Yorkshire for its 90% annual sales growth over three years. The annual league table celebrates the sales growth and sustainability of Britain’s private businesses and entrepreneurs: in 2011 the LNT Group will grow again and further climb the ranks of the table when next year’s results are published this December. Above is a picture of me and LNT Group Development Director, Andrew Long, grinning our heads off.

It's been a positive week for industry recognition for the LNT Group as LNT Construction and LNT Software were both finalists in the property and technology categories respectively, at the Health Investor Awards held at the Grosvenor Hotel on 2nd June. LNT Software provides care home management software to over 1,000 care homes in the UK with its innovative cloud based technology platform.
