Swindon's RFS have announced its successful listing in this year’s Financial Times 1000 Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies.

This high-profile recognition follows on from the regulatory consultancy’s appearance in the 2016 Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100.

The FT 1000 is an annual report produced by the Financial Times that focuses on the fastest growing companies in Europe - by revenue growth - between 2012 and 2015. The listing covers some 30 countries and is an industry-recognised acknowledgement of impressive commercial growth.

RFS was ranked in the top 400 of the 1000 fastest growing companies. It was one of the top 16 companies from the banking, financial services and insurances sector following a £39.6 million of sales in 2015. Annual sales for the private company have grown 59% over the last three years.

RFS is an expert regulatory, resource and complaint handling consultancy with a range of customers that include high-street banks, life assurance providers, consumer credit lenders, utilities and telecoms companies. As a business to watch, RFS has recently enhanced its service with the creation of a dedicated financial crime team and has invested in a leading-edge cyber security business, plus further enhancements to its consumer credit advisory service.

John Turner, chief executive of RFS, said: “We are delighted that RFS has been identified by the Financial Times as one of the top 1000 companies in Europe. “We will ensure that RFS continues to grow by focusing on delivering high quality, and developing services that our customers value.”
