Character.com gets Sunday Times Fast Track 100 nod

“It’s great recognition for the fantastic team of people at Character.com” says md Stephen Hewitt.

Retailer Character.com has been listed in the Sunday Times Fast Track 100 supplement for the second year running.

The company featured in position 50 in the listing, with md Stephen Hewitt telling The Source that it was “great recognition for the fantastic team of people at Character.com”.

“It’s been hugely satisfying for Karen [Hewitt, co-founder and buying director] and I to see Character.com grow from a tiny operation to where we are today,” Stephen commented. “We have managed to grow by over 50% a year since we launched and it’s a massive challenge for a family business to maintain that growth over a long period of time.

“That’s why we were so pleased to be named as one of the fastest growing companies in the UK for the second year running. It’s great recognition for the fantastic team of people at Character.com.

“The commitment and drive that they show from our warehouse and fulfilment teams to buying and marketing, right through to customer service – each and every one is willing to go the extra mile to make Character.com the best it can be, and deliver a fantastic experience for our customers.”

Stephen continued: “But we are not resting on our laurels and are already hard at work with our suppliers and partners to drive for growth to make sure we are one of the fastest growing companies in 2019, too.”
