Sunday 2nd December 2007 is a prestigious day in northerncare’s calendar as we have been published in The Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100. Now in its 11th year, the national league table ranks Britain's hundred private companies with the fastest growing sales over the last three years. The league table and profiles of the 100 companies can also be viewed on www.fasttrack.co.uk. 

Achieving a place in this league table not only highlights northerncare’s business success and national growth over the past years, but recognises the hard work of all our staff who are committed to improving the lives of children and young people in care.

David Rae, Chief Executive at northerncare, is delighted at the company’s achievement and feels "this accolade provides an acknowledgement of the long-term investment made by the Directors at northerncare in the quality of our care and education. We also feel this cements our place as the provider of choice for many local authorities who demand positive outcomes for young people and value for money from their placements. Our growth and development will continue as we focus on providing what our customers need through our special partnership contracts and our retention of our excellent staff. I would like to thank the researchers and staff at The Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100 for spending time getting to know about the quality and about the people at northerncare and I am proud to receive this on behalf of the residential children’s homes market."
