bluQube Named Among the South West’s Fastest-Growing Tech Firms

By Team bluQube

We’re delighted to share that bluQube has been named one of the 50 fastest-growing tech firms in the South West, in the Fast Tech 50 list published by South West Business Insider.

 

The South West is recognised as one of the UK’s most dynamic technology ecosystems, home to over 5,000 companies employing more than 600,000 people and generating around £3 billion in value for the economy. To be recognised among the region’s standout businesses is something we’re incredibly proud of – and a reflection of the hard work, innovation, and commitment of the entire bluQube team.

 

Why This Recognition Matters

The Fast Tech 50 ranks companies based on growth in turnover and pre-tax profits, highlighting those achieving genuine commercial progress alongside innovation. For bluQube, making this list is more than just a measure of financial success. It’s a signal that our focus on creating highly usable finance software and delivering outstanding customer service is resonating with the market.

Our customers – from finance directors to management teams across sectors – know the challenges of financial reporting, integration, and compliance. By building technology that is intuitive, reliable, and adaptable, we’ve been able to deliver real results that drive efficiency and insight. The recognition as one of the fastest-growing firms demonstrates that our approach is making a difference not only to our clients but also to the wider business community.

 

Our Transition to Employee Ownership

The news comes at an exciting time for bluQube. In July 2025, we officially transitioned to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) model. This means bluQube is now owned by the people who know it best – our employees.

For us, this is about much more than a change in ownership structure. It formalises values that have always been at the heart of our business: shared responsibility, long-term thinking, and putting people first.

 

As Chief Executive Simon Kearsley put it:

bluQube has always been about people. This move protects the independence of the business, secures the culture we’ve built, and gives those who’ve helped shape our growth a direct stake in where we go next.”

By giving our team a direct say in bluQube’s future, we’re safeguarding the collaborative culture that has been central to our success for nearly three decades. We believe that businesses thrive when their people are genuinely invested – not just in their work, but in the future direction of the company itself.

 

Looking Ahead

Being listed in the Fast Tech 50 is recognition of the progress we’ve made – but it’s also motivation to keep going further. We’re continuing to invest in new features, expand our integrations through bluQube Connect.

The move to employee ownership will only strengthen this commitment. With every member of our team now a stakeholder in bluQube’s journey, we’re even better placed to deliver the innovation, service, and reliability that our customers expect.

 

A Shared Success

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank our incredible customers and partners. Your trust in bluQube has fuelled our growth and made this recognition possible. And of course, a huge thank you to our dedicated team – this achievement is yours.
