Griffin Internet, based at Pride Park in Derby, has been acknowledged
as one of the fast-growing technology companies in the UK.
The company, which doubled its sales between 2003 and 2004
and doubled its staff during the last six months, has been ranked 64 in
The Sunday Times Microsoft Tech Track 100, an annual listing that ranks
the UK's fastest growing unquoted technology companies based on
increases in sales.
"The naming of Griffin Internet as one of the UK's leading
technology organisations is great news for the company and for the
people who work here, as it is their drive and commitment to our
customers that have made it possible," said Griffin Managing Director
John Dawson.
"It is also good news for the business community of Derby and
the East Midlands because it independently confirms what we have been
saying ourselves:- businesses in this region have a local source for
world-class, benefits-driven communications to guide them through all
the new technology currently appearing in the market place.
"There's no doubt that the new BT network and the explosion
in the use of mobile communication devices is radically changing how
business works. Our whole ethos is to make sure that our customers -
either directly or through our resellers - need not worry about IT; they
can concentrate on what they do best and leave us to provide them with
what we do best."
Griffin provides Internet access and is a major UK supplier
of wholesale services for ISPs (Internet service providers) and telecoms
operators, including some of the world's largest (and smallest)
companies. Latest advances have seen the company offering new Broadband
services and an innovative storage area network (SAN) solution to allay
the business community's concerns about today's communications security.
The company is currently trialling new voice-over-IP services.
