Watch designer Olivia Burton has been named as Ones to Watch at the Fast Track 100 Awards.
The Fast Track 100 Awards, in conjunction with Virgin and The Sunday Times, publishes league tables of the UK’s top private companies with the fastest sales and growth. The Ones to Watch category features companies whose sales growth falls short of the league table, but are set to grow rapidly.
In 2016, Olivia Burton launched in 27 countries and increased sales by 154% to £9.2m. It is currently stocked in Harvey Nichols, Nordstrom and Selfridges.
The brand was founded in 2012 by Jemma Fennings and Lesa Bennett.
Fennings said: “It’s been an amazing five years and we’re so chuffed to have this recognition, both for us and our team who are truly dedicated and passionate about the brand.”
Bennett added: “Fast Track has given us the opportunity to chat with some amazing people, some of which we have admired since a young age. Sitting next to Sir Branson at dinner and bouncing around ideas is something I’d never imagined I’d be doing. Just goes to show that anything is possible.”
