Exceptional growth has propelled Broadband Solutions into the top half of Smart Company’s Smart50, announced Wednesday 17th September
In just nine years Broadband Solutions has grown by 110% per annum, with annual turnover of over $9.6 million annually and a doubling of revenue in the past 12 months, making it one of Australia’s fastest growing SMEs in 2013-2014
Broadband Solutions has developed a strong presence in the hospitality industry supplying solutions to hotels such as the Marriot and Hyatt. Over the past year it has focused on broadening its horizons particularly in the education sector. Founder and Managing Director Sam Bashiry believes as more students and teachers bring their own devices schools are increasingly experiencing shortage of bandwidth and seeking their own broadband solutions.
Bashiry acknowledges the company’s exceptional growth over the past year is also due to a refresh of the Broadband Solutions brand, supported by a public relations campaign.
“We are thrilled to be ranked number 21 in the Smart50 for 2014. Over the past year we have had some great successes, been refreshing the company’s brand and have bought in a marketing and PR team to help us. This has been pivotal in showcasing what we do, and sharing the exciting projects we are working on. Congratulations to the entire Broadband Solutions team and we look forward to another successful year.”
The Smart50 awards recognise and celebrate Australia’s fastest growing SMEs in 2013-2014 and are based on average annual revenue growth over the past three financial years. To be eligible entrants of the Smart50 must have revenue over $500,000 and show positive growth over the three years.
