Forfusion Celebrated as One of the North East’s Fastest-Growing Companies

Forfusion, a North East-based technology consultancy, has been named among the Ward Hadaway North East Fastest 50, recognising the region’s fastest-growing companies. This accolade follows the company’s earlier recognition as SME Business of the Year at the North East Chamber of Commerce Business Awards in June 2025.

The annual awards celebrate business growth, innovation, and commercial success across the North East. Based on financial data filed with Companies House, the Fastest 50 recognises organisations that have consistently increased turnover over the past three financial years while remaining profitable.

Forfusion ranked among the region’s top-performing businesses after achieving sustained growth driven by its work in mission-critical IT infrastructure and cybersecurity solutions for enterprise and public sector clients. The company’s success reflects its strategy-led approach to digital transformation, long-term partnerships, and commitment to its people-first culture.

Damien Charlton, Head of the Commercial team at Ward Hadaway’s Newcastle office, said:

“We are proud to celebrate Forfusion as one of the fastest-growing businesses in the North East. Their continued expansion and steady profitability clearly reflect their commitment to innovation and hard work. We congratulate them on this achievement and look forward to their future successes.

“This year’s awards highlight the resilience and ambition of companies like Forfusion, which continue to drive the region’s economy forward. Their story is an inspiration to other North East businesses looking to innovate and grow.”

Forfusion CEO Steven Forrest added:

“We’re incredibly proud to be recognised among the North East’s Fastest 50. This achievement is a testament to our team’s dedication and shared belief in innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement. As a company born and bred in the North East, we’re honoured to represent the region and contribute to its thriving digital sector.”

As the only dual Cisco Gold Partner headquartered in northern England, Forfusion continues to set the benchmark for technical excellence and trusted delivery. Alongside its commercial success, the company remains committed to social impact, supporting STEM education, veterans, and digital skills initiatives across the community. With a strong pipeline of contracts and investment talent and technology, Forfusion is poised for its strongest financial year yet, continuing to build something special in the North East’s growing digital economy.
