The Tech Track 100, now in its eleventh year, ranks the UK’s privately-owned technology, media and telecoms (TMT) companies in a league table. The list tracks the fastest growing UK companies based on the past three years of available accounts. Mimecast, with a tenfold increase in sales over the past ten years, was identified as one of the UK’s 20 fastest growing technology companies.

“Since Mimecast was founded in 2003, we have built a world-class SaaS business from the ground up based around our state-of-the-art grid, our uniquely integrated suite of cloud services and the amazing team of people who work for Mimecast around the world,” commented Peter Bauer, CEO and co-founder of Mimecast. “Our positioning as the number one companion for Microsoft Exchange has given us and our channel partners a strong focus, as well as a clear differentiation in the marketplace, and the growth we continue to experience shows that this strategy is bearing fruit.”

“We are thrilled to have been included in the top twenty of the Sunday Times Tech Track 100 list for the second year in a row. This is a hugely exciting time for the business, with our offerings for Microsoft Exchange 2010, Office 365 and a variety of mobile platforms all rolling out this year and continued growth across each of our key regions; the UK, USA and South Africa. With demand for simple, cost effective services for Exchange growing rapidly, I am confident that we can continue to grow the business and deliver real value for our customers in the coming months and years.”
