A TOTAL OF 12 London-based companies have been ranked on the Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies list for 2020.

Produced by Canadian Business, the Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies list (formerly the Growth 500) is split into two categories: the Growth List and the Startup List.

The Growth List ranks Canadian companies on five-year revenue growth; the Startup List ranks Canadian new growth companies on two-year revenue growth.

Ranked at number 241 of the Growth List, 44 North Digital Marketing’s founder and president, Corey Shelson, says, “I am extremely proud that 44 North has ranked on the 2020 Growth List. Our success is directly tied to our people. We hire the best, we take care of them and we invest in their training and development. In return, our team members take care of our clients, and in doing so, we succeed together. I want to thank all of our customers for putting their faith in 44 North and trusting us to help them grow their businesses.”

“The companies on the 2020 Growth List are really exceptional,” notes Growth List editor, Susan Grimbly. “Their stories are a masterclass in how to survive when the economy throws a curveball. Despite turbulence, 2020 Growth List companies showed resilience, spirit and, most importantly, empathy and strong leadership.”
