In the 19th annual 'Fast 50' ranking of rapidly-growing private tech companies, London-headquartered Smarkets was ranked fourth on the list due to its sales growth over the last four years.

Smarkets's Fast 50 inclusion follows the company's fifth-placed ranking in The Sunday Times annual TechTrack100 list celebrated on 15 November.

Jason Trost, CEO of Smarkets, said: "It's fantastic to be recognised by Deloitte and the Sunday Times after watching the company grow so quickly in such a short space of time.

"I'm really excited for the coming years and being included on the Fast 50 list and TechTrack100 is a big boost as we strive to establish ourselves in the top tier of technology companies."

Earlier this year, the company announced revenue growth of 1568% and operating profit growth of 429% for the year ending December 31, 2015.

By the turn of the year, Smarkets expects to have doubled its headcount in just 12 months as the company continues to hire in several positions, with a focus on tech and engineering.
