Turnover is up more than five per cent to £44 million-plus at county web and email hosting firm Fasthosts, with the business also investing heavily for further growth.

It is this investment, which the Gloucester-headquartered firm described as ‘significant’, that saw profits decrease by more than a third, but the business remains steadfastly positive about its future.

It is all part of what makes the firm one of the biggest 100 in the county by turnover, and part of Raikes’ rolling Top 100 Businesses in Gloucestershire listing.
