Former RIG client in GrowthBusiness Top 50 Rising Stars 2011
Solar Communications, the provider of telecommunication solutions to businesses, has been recognised by GrowthBusiness as one of its Top 50 Rising Stars of 2011, the annual list of the UK’s most exciting businesses with the fastest-growing sales and profits in the UK last year.
The annual Rising Stars ranking is the only such research to consider both profit and turnover growth in its assessment. The Rising Stars have combined sales of £1.4 billion, up 7 per cent on last year’s list, while total profits have reached £287 million.
Wol Kolade, managing partner of ISIS Equity Partners and GrowthBusiness blogger, comments in his blog post this month that the Rising Stars of 2011 represent some welcome light at the end of a dark economic tunnel.
Solar’s customers operate across a range of sectors, including health, education, legal, travel, manufacturing and finance. Chief Executive Mark Colquhoun took the helm when the business was losing money and has since turned the company around. RIG worked with Mark to categorise Solar’s customer base and optimise its account management and development function. As part of the project RIG was involved in the selection and recruitment of a sales leader to drive Solar’s continued revenue growth.
