Welcome to the London Daily News Fastest growing companies award. We had over 1,000 company submissions our judging panel then had the unenviable task of whittling that down to a final 50, which we then put to a reader vore to get to our final 30 and eventual winner The Cheeky Panda !

From bamboo-based toilet rolls to smart lockers, and aviation to curated plant kits, London’s top 30 fastest-growing companies are an eclectic mix! This list of creative organisations not only won the votes of the people but proved considerable year-on-year growth.
