Fast Track achievement for smoke alarm supplier Sprue Aegis
Published: 3 December 2012
Home safety products supplier Sprue Aegis has once again been recognised as one of Britain's 100 top-performing private companies in this year's Sunday Times Fast Track 100 league table.
Sprue Aegis and Innocent Drinks are the only companies in Fast Track's 16-year history to be listed for five consecutive years.
With its head office in Coventry, the company designs, manufactures and sells smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and other safety products throughout Europe under the FireAngel, First Alert, BRK and Dicon brands.
Sprue Aegis is at number 92 on the 2012 Fast Track list, which is based on sales over the last three years. The company achieved organic growth of 53% per year from 2008 to 2011, taking turnover from £9.4m to £33.3m.
Since last year's achievement, Sprue Aegis has signed an exclusive agreement with B&Q to supply its entire range of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
Chairman and group CEO Graham Whitworth commented: "To be recognised in the Fast Track 100 league table is in itself a great triumph, but to be recognised for five years running is a tremendous achievement - particularly in challenging economic times. This demonstrates how a clear focus from a dedicated team is a powerful combination for consistent growth."
