The 2010 Deloitte Fast 50 (www.fast50.co.nz), the index for New Zealand’s growing businesses, is open for entries from today.

This is the 10th year that high-growth businesses from throughout New Zealand have been invited to benchmark their business growth over the past three years against each other.

Deloitte’s annual hit-list of New Zealand’s 50 fastest-growing companies was revealed at five events across the country last night, supported by media partner NBR.

The Fast 50 2009 was headed by Dunedin-based New Zealand Honey Co, which clocked a staggering 994.76% growth rate.
