FourJaw, the Sheffield-based technology business helps manufacturers improve productivity, has been ranked in the UK Top 200 of the 2026 UK Fast Growth Index, after growing its turnover by 164 per cent in two years.
It is also ranked among the fastest-growing businesses in the North of England. It was named the UK’s fastest-growing manufacturing analytics company.
Chris Iveson, CEO & Co founder of FourJaw, said: “This recognition is a credit to our team and the manufacturers who trust FourJaw to help them improve. Manufacturers are under constant pressure to deliver more with the people and equipment they already have. Our growth reflects the demand for straightforward technology that helps them uncover lost production time and turn it into extra capacity.
“As a Sheffield business, we’re proud to be part of the North’s technology and manufacturing community. Our focus now is on helping more manufacturers turn better production data into measurable improvements on the factory floor.”
The 2026 UK Fast Growth Index reveals the fastest-growing independent businesses across the UK’s nations and regions. Together, they have more than doubled in size in just two years, with combined turnover rising from £4.3 billion in 2023 to £10.2 billion in 2025, an increase of 137 per cent.
Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE, founder of the UK Fast Growth Index, said:
“FourJaw is a great example of the extraordinary talent and ambition we see in businesses across every part of the UK. Earning a place on this year’s Index, alongside firms that have together more than doubled in size in just two years, is a remarkable achievement, and the whole team should be very proud.
“At a time when we hear so much about the challenges facing the UK economy, businesses like FourJaw show what is possible when they are given the chance to grow. The challenge now is to help more of them become those incredible high-growth businesses that make a massive impact across the country.”
