(Glasgow, UK) Glasgow-based space engineering company Craft Prospect has been selected for inclusion in the inaugural edition of The Sunday Times Scotland Fast 50, a new annual list recognising some of Scotland’s fastest-growing private companies.

Supported by Cazenove Capital and S&W, The Sunday Times Scotland Fast 50 celebrates independently owned, Scotland-headquartered businesses achieving exceptional growth at scale and speed.

To be eligible, companies were required to have recorded sales of at least £2 million in their latest financial year, increased sales by an average of more than 20% a year across the last two financial years, and employ a minimum of five staff.

Craft Prospect’s inclusion in the inaugural list is a welcome recognition of the company’s growth, team, and engineer-led approach to delivering innovative space technologies and mission capability from Scotland.
