picoChip makes it to the top three

News
The company ranks in top three fastest growing technology companies in the UK in the 2008 Deloitte Technology Fast 50. picoChip attributes Its 4483% revenue growth to the emergence of the femtocell market.
picoChip announced that it ranked number three in the 2008 Deloitte Technology Fast 50, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the UK. Rankings are based on average percentage revenue growth over five years. picoChip grew 4483 percent during this period.

Guillaume d'Eyssautier, picoChip’s president and CEO, credits the emergence and the establishment of the femtocell market with the company’s 4483% revenue growth over the past five years: "picoChip made an early investment in femtocells and all our subsequent hard work has paid off. Picking the right horse to back can be a tough choice and with advanced wireless it is no exception. We on the other hand choose to use our proprietary technology to back the whole pack with femtocells and it has paid dividends."

“Growing the top line enough to make the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 is especially meaningful during tough economic times for the technology sector,” comments David Halstead, lead partner for the Deloitte Fast 50. “The Fast 50 provides a fascinating view of the evolving structure of the UK's tech sector, with software and internet businesses making up the bulk of the fastest growing companies. While their products and services are at the extreme cutting edge of global technology, it is important to note that it is not just technology that makes these companies leaders in their sectors, it is about the quality of the people and their intellectual property (IP).”

“Being one of the fastest growing technology companies in the UK is an impressive accomplishment. We commend picoChip for making the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 with a phenomenal 4483% growth rate over five years,” said Laurence Hedditch, Deloitte Technology partner for the South West of England.
