Top forty position, Sunday Times Microsoft Tech Track

In the widely respected Sunday Times Microsoft Tech Track league table for 2005, Abcam secured 39th place nationally for fastest growing unquoted technology companies. This makes Abcam one of the consistently fastest growing companies in the UK as it is the third consecutive year that Abcam has been ranked in the top 40.

US office on the move

Two years to the month after establishing a permanent presence in the US, Abcam tripled the size of its operation by moving to new 3,000 sq ft premises at the same address in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The larger offices enabled the company to expand its office administration, customer and technical services, product storage and dispatch functions in line with continued business growth in the US.

Queen’s Award at first attempt

The Queen's Award LogoThe Queen’s Award for Enterprise has been running since 1966 and is widely recognised as the premier award for business performance in the UK; granted annually for outstanding business achievement. At its first attempt, Abcam was just one of 135 companies across the UK to win one of these coveted awards. Abcam demonstrated excellent year-on-year growth in overseas sales between 2002 and 2004 with 84% of sales during these three years coming from overseas customers. The award is positive proof of the company’s outstanding success as an international business.

More space

Continued growth over the previous two years and anticipated growth in the foreseeable future prompted Abcam to move to new premises on the Cambridge Science Park. The new home is the company’s third on the Science Park, where it has been based since 2000. At 13,000 sq ft the facility is double the size of the previous unit. A significantly larger laboratory area has allowed Abcam to extend both the scope of its product characterisation and further increase the number of products available to customers. The larger premises also means that new members of staff can be recruited to maintain Abcam’s technical and customer service edge in the market place.

A faster service

International customers, particularly those in the US, benefited from an even faster website service after Abcam transferred its web server to Redbus in London. Furthermore, the relocation (including new hardware and software implementations) will provide greater website stability and uptime, making product and ordering information even more easy to access.

First place in Deloitte’s Fast 50

Abcam’s winning ways reached new heights after it secured two awards in the space of a month. Appearing in Deloite’s Regional Technology Fast 50 league table for the third consecutive year, Abcam topped the table on the strength of sales that grew 7,200 % between 1999 and 2003. Less than a month previously, Abcam had, for the second year, been ranked as one of Britain’s fastest growing technology companies in the Sunday Times Microsoft Tech Track 100.

Top forty position, Sunday Times Microsoft Tech Track

In the widely respected Sunday Times Microsoft Tech Track league table for 2004, Abcam secured 40th place nationally for fastest growing unquoted technology companies. This follows last year’s ranking of 13th.
