Connekt EV Charging has been recognised as one of Scotland's fastest-growing businesses after securing a place in the inaugural Sunday Times Scotland Fast 50.

The prestigious list, published by The Sunday Times and supported by Cazenove Capital and S&W, celebrates the country's most ambitious and fastest-growing companies. Connekt EV Charging is proud to be recognised alongside some of Scotland's most successful and innovative businesses.

The recognition comes after another landmark year for the Ayr-headquartered company, which has grown from a kitchen-table start-up into one of Scotland's leading commercial EV charge point operators. The business has surpassed £5 million in annual turnover, expanded its team to almost 30 employees, and now operates a network of more than 1,000 public charging connectors across the UK.
