DBSJ Lands Top Spot In The UK Fast Growth Index For The South of England

Leading interiors fit-out firm DBSJ has topped a list of the 50 fastest-growing businesses in the South of England by the 2025 UK Fast Growth Index. Not only that, but they landed the national award for Fastest Growing Firm in Construction, Building and Property Services.   

These incredible achievements highlight DBSJ’s accelerating impact on the fit-out market and its commitment to excellence and innovation. Whilst fast growth firms represent a small fraction of all companies, they contribute to a significant proportion of new jobs and prosperity in the UK economy every year. They are also often at the cutting edge in their respective industries, introducing new ideas, services and processes and making a tremendous contribution to their sector. 

The UK Fast Growth Index identifies the 50 fastest-growing companies in the country. Last year, the 350 firms identified through the lists had a collective turnover increase of £9.6 billion between 2021 and 2023 and created 24,000 new jobs in two years. 

Darren Hill, CEO at DBSJ, said: “Making the top spot in the South of England is a milestone that reflects the incredible drive of our people. Their passion and ambition have powered our growth and continue to shape the future of our business. Our team never stops pushing the boundaries of what the fit-out industry can achieve, redefining what inspiring, experience-led interiors should be. We refuse to settle for anything less than exceptional, and that mindset has fueled our rapid growth, strengthened key partnerships and helped us secure increasingly ambitious projects.” 

Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE, Founder UK Fast Growth Index explained of the Index: “The UK Fast Growth Index demonstrates how a small number of fast-growing firms such as DBSJ can make a substantial contribution to the UK’s economic landscape, providing real examples of how innovation, enterprise and sheer hard work can make a real difference in all sectors from construction to financial services to technology. 

This small group of businesses that grow quickly continue to play a significant role in driving economic growth. They create jobs and contribute to the economic development of the communities in which they are based. By highlighting the success of these companies across a range of sectors, the UK Fast Growth Index emphasises the importance of supporting and nurturing the private sector in every nation and region of the UK”.
