Ward Hadaway Fastest 50 Awards 2025: Meet the winners
And the winners are...
Winners of the Ward Hadaway Yorkshire Fastest 50 Awards 2025, in partnership with The Yorkshire Post, have been celebrating their honours.
Overall Fastest Growing Business & Fastest Growing Medium Business: Rapid Response Telecoms
Commenting on their double win at this year’s 15t annual awards, Tommy Lunt, Director at Rapid Response Telecoms, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be named overall fastest growing business and fastest growing medium business. It’s a reflection of the hard work, determination and trust we’ve put in ourselves and the team.
Our team really is incredible. We’ve stuck together, learned fast and built something we’re all proud of. That’s what matters most. In an industry like ours, which often throws up new challenges, it’s moments like this that allow us to take a step back and appreciate what we’ve achieved.
As a proud Yorkshireman, this is especially significant for me - Yorkshire is everything. Business isn’t a fairy tale. There will always be tough times but with belief, hard work and perseverance, you’ll get there. Just keep pushing forward, because success is within reach.”

Their inclusion among Yorkshire’s fastest-growing companies highlights the importance of the care sector to the region’s economy and the impact of socially focused businesses operating at scale.
Fastest Growing Small Business: Project Furniture
“I’m honestly blown away to be named Yorkshire’s Fastest Small Business of the Year,” said Paul Hutchinson, Managing Director of Project Furniture.
“This success is all about the team. We’ve built the business around people, and I’m incredibly lucky to work with such a talented group of professionals. It’s been an amazing five years and to see how far we’ve come in such a short time is really something. Yorkshire has been the perfect place to grow our business, the opportunities here are endless and the people are warm and welcoming. We’ve worked hard to get here but it’s been worth every bit of effort.
“We’ve grown steadily and stuck to what we believe in - doing the job properly, building lasting relationships with our clients and taking pride in the work we deliver. Recognition like this gives you a moment to pause and appreciate what’s possible when you stick to your principles and keep going. It’s a real privilege to be part of this and we’re not stopping here - we’ve got big plans for the future. There’s still plenty more to achieve and we’re just getting started.”
