Why this achievement matters

The AFR Fast 100 celebrates Australia’s fastest-growing businesses, those that have achieved significant growth over the past three financial years. By making the list for the second consecutive year, we’re not simply recognising a moment of success but confirming sustained momentum, resilience, and ambition.

Here’s what makes this milestone so meaningful:

  • Validation of our growth trajectory – being included for the second year indicates that our growth is not episodic; it’s built on solid foundations and scalable models
  • Momentum in execution – it's one thing to grow fast once, but doing it again shows we’re consistently delivering value and seizing opportunities
  • Confidence for our clients and partners – it reaffirms to our stakeholders that we’re a forward-looking, high-performing team committed to long-term results
  • Fuel for our next chapter – rather than being an endpoint, this milestone becomes another springboard for our next evolution

What’s behind our success this year

Building on last year’s recognition (you can refresh here), our second year on the list is grounded in continued strategic focus across three core pillars:

1. Innovation and service excellence

Over the past year, we’ve been busy growing and evolving. From enhancing our consumption-based, as-a-service offering MergeSPACES™, to integrating advanced technologies that keep workplace collaboration smooth and future-ready, we’ve focused on creating experiences that truly make a difference. Our goal has been simple: deliver seamless, high-value solutions that anticipate our customers' needs and help them thrive in the new world of work. And behind the scenes, we’ve invested in the people, tools, and processes that let us respond quickly and scale when our customers need us most.

2. Customer-centric mindset

Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. For us, that means taking the time to truly understand their challenges, context, and goals, so we’re not just providing equipment or services but partnering with them on real transformation. It also means making sure delivery and outcomes matter just as much as innovation. Quality, reliability, and service aren’t optional; they’re non-negotiable. Above all, we’re committed to building trust and long-term partnerships that lead to repeat business and sustainable growth for everyone.

3. Resilience, adaptability and culture

The past few years have really shown us the importance of staying agile and resilient. Being included for a second year is a reflection of what makes us strong: our ability to adapt to changing market dynamics. Whether it’s supply chain pressures, the shift to hybrid work, or new ways of collaborating, we adapt quickly to ensure we never compromise on service. It also speaks to our culture of execution, aligned objectives, and team empowerment, because hitting growth benchmarks and keeping momentum takes a collective effort. And finally, it’s about pragmatic risk-taking and continuous improvement - staying ahead of the curve while maintaining the operational discipline that keeps us moving forward.

When it comes to investing in technology or workplace solutions, there’s no universal “right” answer. It often comes down to what aligns best with your business’ financial strategy and operational priorities Discover why more businesses are ditching CapEx for OpEx.

What this means for our future

Making the AFR Fast 100 two years in a row is a clear signal, not just of where we’ve been, but of where we’re headed. For our clients, team and partners, it means:

More innovation: we’re committed to not standing still. We’ll continue to invest in new capabilities, services and ways of working.

Greater scale and reach: growth gives us more resources – more talent, more tools, more opportunity to service clients with increasing sophistication.

Continuity of excellence: being fast-growing doesn’t mean sacrificing quality; quite the opposite. Our systems, service frameworks and outcomes will keep rising

Shared success: our clients, partners and team members are integral to this achievement. Our future is intertwined with yours

A heartfelt thank you, recognition is meaningful, but it’s only possible because of the people behind the scenes. To our team - your dedication, agility and commitment make the difference. To our clients and partners - thank you for trusting us, challenging us, and allowing us to grow alongside you. To our leadership and visionaries - thank you for setting a direction and keeping the energy high!

Making the AFR Fast 100 was an exhilarating milestone, the second time around it feels even more significant. We see it not as the summit, but a vantage point from which to set even higher goals. Here’s to the journey ahead and to achieving more, together.
