Starting out in 2020, Focus MEP specialises in electrical, mechanical and public health engineering and now has a team of over 20.

The Cardiff firm said it was committed to driving economic growth in Wales by creating local employment opportunities and contributing to the region’s thriving engineering and manufacturing sector.

Co-founder & Director, Matthew Phillips, said:

“It’s an honour to see Focus MEP recognised at this level. Our team’s hard work, expertise and commitment to excellence have been the driving forces behind our growth. We’re proud to be part of Wales’ thriving engineering and manufacturing sector and look forward to continuing to make a positive impact.”

The Fast Growth 50 project, devised by Prof Dylan Jones-Evans, celebrates the diverse talent and entrepreneurial spirit across the UK, recognising companies that contribute significantly to economic growth through innovation and productivity. Focus MEP’s inclusion on the 2024 index highlights the remarkable development and progress they have achieved over the past few years.

Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE, Founder Fast Growth 50 said:

“I would like to congratulate Focus MEP on becoming the fastest growing Manufacturing and Engineering firm in the UK in 2024. The UK Fast Growth Index demonstrates how a small number of fast growing firms can make a substantial contribution to the UK’s economic landscape, providing real examples of how innovation, enterprise and sheer hard work can make a real difference in all sectors from construction to financial services to technology. This small group of businesses that grow quickly continue to play a significant role in driving economic growth.

 

“Businesses such as Focus MEP create jobs and contribute to the economic development of the communities in which they are based. By highlighting the success of these companies across a range of sectors, the UK Fast Growth Index emphasises the importance of supporting and nurturing the private sector in every nation and region of the UK”.
