Cleverchefs Group has been included in the UK Fast Growth Index for 2024.
Cleverchefs is a pioneering catering company, providing high-quality, nutritious food for the education, workplace and leisure sectors with a growing portfolio of 82 schools, three workplaces and two leisure sites.
The award-winning contract catering company has been recognised as one of the 50 fastest-growing firms in Wales. The specific ranking within the list will be revealed at the UK Fast Growth Awards on November 28th at the Bloomsbury Big Top in London.
The UK Fast Growth Index identifies the fastest-growing businesses in seven nations and regions, highlighting their exceptional contributions to the UK economy. Collectively, the 350 businesses on this year’s index are generating over £12 billion in turnover.

“We are absolutely thrilled to be recognised as one of the fastest-growing businesses in Wales. I am immensely proud of the whole Cleverchefs Group team. This acknowledgment is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team, and we are excited to continue our journey of growth and innovation. Cleverchefs continues to grow and grow and we have no plans to slow down! We look forward to the awards evening, where we will celebrate this achievement alongside other remarkable businesses from across the UK.”
Professor Dylan Jones-Evans, the founder of the UK Fast Growth Index, said:
“The businesses listed in this year’s UK Fast Growth Index represent the best of British entrepreneurship. Their collective contributions are driving significant economic growth, creating jobs, and shaping the future of the UK economy. We are proud to celebrate their success and look forward to revealing their place on the lists at the awards ceremony this November.”
The UK Fast Growth Awards ceremony recognises businesses from across Wales, London, the Midlands and the East of England, the North of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and the South of England. It will also honour the fastest-growing firms in 12 key sectors acknowledging the impact of these businesses on the UK’s economy.
