Nasstar (stock code: NASA), a provider of hosted managed and cloud computing services, is pleased to announce it has been named as one of '1000 Companies to Inspire Britain' in the London Stock Exchange's 2017 report published today.

The Report showcases the UK's fastest-growing and most dynamic small and medium sized businesses. To be included companies need to show consistent revenue growth over a minimum of three years which significantly outperforms industry peers. The Report is endorsed and supported by government, the major political parties and the UK's major business associations, all endorsing Nasstar as one of the best performing companies in the UK, not just in its profession or industry, but across all business.

Nigel Redwood, Chief Executive Officer of Nasstar, said:

"It is a real honour to be named on such a prestigious list of growing SMEs by the London Stock Exchange. It's testament to the hard work and dedication of every Nasstar employee, who constantly strive to deliver the highest standard to our very loyal and supportive customers. This accolade reinforces our confidence in our acquisitive growth strategy, having acquired four businesses in the last three years. Our last acquisition, Modrus, completed our service portfolio and now enables the Group to focus on maximising and realising the benefit of bringing together all of our acquisitions."
