19 October 2007
Web Filtering Company Recognised As One Of UK’s Top 50 Fastest Growing Technology Companies
Bloxx, the enterprise web filtering specialist, today announced that it has been recognised by Deloitte as one of the UK’s fastest expanding technology businesses by including the company in its prestigious ‘Fast 50’. Bloxx, who has established a name as a top web filtering solution provider, has been acknowledged by Deloitte for its rapid growth over the last five years.
“Digital security is a key concern for consumers and business and this is reflected in the 2007 Deloitte Technology Fast 50. Security is not only a response to an increasing number of threats but also reflects a growing concern for potential reputational damage as well as the elusive holy grail of productivity and cost reduction,” comments Simon Kerton-Johnson, a partner in Deloitte’s Technology, Media and Telecommunications practice
The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 is an award programme honouring business growth, technological innovation and UK entrepreneurial spirit. In its tenth year, the programme ranks the fastest growing UK tech companies based on percentage revenue growth over a five-year period. “It’s an honour to be included in Deloitte’s Fast 50 and is a clear and independent indication of how well our solution is being received by users across a variety of sectors,” comments Bloxx Sales and Marketing Director, Paul Irvine.
Bloxx provides a web filtering solution incorporating Tru-View Technology which analyses and blocks websites quicker and more accurately than other first and second-generation web filters. Designed for medium to large organisations with ease of use specifically in mind, Tru-View Technology helps IT administrators proactively manage users’ access to web content which might lower productivity, expose the organisation to risk and liability or pose a network security threat.
In addition to the Fast 50 hotlist, Bloxx is also included on the EMEA Fast 500. “It’s another credible stamp of approval for our solution as we begin to introduce Bloxx technology to the worldwide market,” concludes Irvine.
