ESP Group has been named in the inaugural 2026 edition of The Sunday Times Scotland Fast 50, securing its place among Scotland’s fastest-growing private businesses.
Published by The Sunday Times and supported by Cazenove Capital and S&W, the prestigious annual list celebrates businesses that have achieved exceptional levels of growth while demonstrating ambition, innovation and commercial success.
To qualify for inclusion, companies must be independently owned, headquartered in Scotland, generate annual revenues of at least £2 million, employ a minimum of five staff, and achieve average annual sales growth of more than 20% across the previous two financial years.
The achievement marks an important milestone for ESP Group and reflects the company’s continued investment in its people, technology, services and customer relationships.
Ashley Meston, Chief Executive Officer of ESP Group, said:
“Being included in the inaugural edition of The Sunday Times Scotland Fast 50 is a fantastic achievement and a proud moment for everyone across ESP Group.
“This recognition reflects the dedication of our teams, the loyalty of our customers and our commitment to continuous improvement. While we are proud of what we have achieved, we are even more excited about what lies ahead as we continue to grow, innovate and support organisations across the UK.”
In announcing the list, The Sunday Times described the businesses selected as representing Scotland’s entrepreneurial strength and the companies helping to drive economic growth across the country.
ESP Group joins 49 other Scottish businesses recognised for delivering outstanding growth despite challenging market conditions, further reinforcing its position as one of Scotland’s leading technology and business services providers.
Ashley added:
“Success is never achieved in isolation. This milestone belongs to every member of our team, as well as the customers and partners who place their trust in us. We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to our journey and helped make this achievement possible.”
