Commenting on the company's success, the 15th major accolade it has enjoyed in the last three years, ClinPhone director of marketing and business development Patrick Hughes explained: "We have been ranked in every Fast 50 that we have entered which shows an unprecedented consistency in terms of growth and success.
"Most Top 10 companies on the list are start-ups, which have grown very quickly in their early years and hence posted phenomenal percentage returns.
"ClinPhone celebrated 10 years in business this year and has consistently grown revenues every single quarter since its formation in 1993. "This is down to the vision of its founders and the enthusiasm of its staff and ClinPhone shows no signs of slowing down".
