2012 1st Deloitte Tech EMEA

LONDON, 30 November 2012: Omnifone, the business-to-business provider of global cloud-based digital music services, has been awarded first place in the media and entertainment category of the prestigious Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA. Omnifone ranked 36th in the overall league table, one of just six UK companies in the top 40.

The accolade follows Omnifone’s success at the 2012 Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50 where it ranked fourth. Earlier this year Omnifone also ranked 20th in the Sunday Times Tech Track 100.

Omnifone was recognised in the overall EMEA-wide league table in recognition of its most successful financial year to date after turning a profit of £3.8 million (EBITDA). Omnifone achieved a 2857 per cent increase in revenue over the past five years and sales in the last financial year amounted to £29.5 million.

Jeff Hughes, Omnifone’s CEO, credits the recent growth to the roll out of global subscription-based streaming services on behalf of customers, driven by the consumer demand to access digital music anywhere, anytime.

Hughes said: “We are thrilled to be recognised once again for the phenomenal growth we’ve experienced over the past few years. We look forward to reinforcing our leadership in the digital music space and achieving further growth through expansion, the acquisition of new global partners and by extending our service offerings.”
