One of just four travel companies on list

7th February 2010. Today, Comtec Group is delighted to announce that it has been placed 91st on the highly influential Sunday Times Deloitte Buyout Track 100 (announced Sunday 7th February). Comtec is one of only three Welsh companies in the list and one of only four travel companies to be included (also Kew Green Hotels (7th), London City Airport (42nd) and Q Hotels (53rd)).

The Sunday Times Buyout Track 100 league table ranks Britain's 100 private equity-backed companies with the fastest-growing profits (EBITDA). Buyout Track 100 is compiled by Fast Track and published in The Sunday Times each February, with an awards event in March and regional dinners throughout the year.

A typical Buyout Track 100 company has:

  • Profit growth ranging from 15% pa to 140% pa
  • Profits ranging between £3m and £50m
  • Sales ranging between £20m and £1bn
  • At least 20% of the companies are owned by private equity houses

Simon Powell, Comtec CEO commented, “We are delighted to have been listed in the top 100 of this highly prestigious list, particularly at the end of such a challenging financial year. As a professional services provider, we are only as good as our people, and this achievement belongs as much to our tremendous staff at Comtec as it does to the management team.”
