First Focus has ranked 42nd in Australia in the 2007 Deloitte Technology Fast 50 awards, achieving 163 per cent revenue growth over the last three years.

The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 ranks the 50 fastest growing technology companies, public or private, based on percentage revenue growth over three years (2005-2007) and includes all related industry sectors: communications; software; semiconductors, components and electronics; life sciences; internet; and computer peripherals.

First Focus was founded in Sydney and has rapidly expanded to Melbourne and Brisbane, offering IT support, broadband, hosting and technical infrastructure solutions to small and medium businesses.

Managing Director, Peter Paddon said, "Our significant growth is a result of our combining an Internet Services Provider with an IT support company to provide our customers with exactly the right combination of products and services they have been asking for."

"One of our most successful strategies has been to offer our customers unlimited IT support for a fixed monthly cost. This was a pretty risky strategy, but because we can offer all the technical services that our customers need, we are able to ensure that everything works together the way it should."

"We expect to achieve around 75 per cent growth over the next 12 months."

Deloitte Technology, Media and Telecommunications partner Julia Bickerstaff said the growth of First Focus has been astounding.

"With the global tech sector recovery, Australia is leading the region and the future is looking very bright for First Focus."
