Basingstoke Firm Rises as Top Growing Business
Recognition for Rapid Growth
An electric vehicle charging network has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing businesses in the UK. Basingstoke-based InstaVolt has been listed among the 50 fastest-growing firms in the South of England as part of the UK Fast Growth Index. This index identifies the most rapidly expanding companies across seven UK regions and nations.
Expanding at a Paced Rate
InstaVolt has been acknowledged for its significant growth and innovation in the EV charging sector. Delvin Lane, CEO at InstaVolt, expressed his pride in the achievement, stating, "This is a huge achievement and a fantastic recognition for the strength of our network and the dedication of our team who are working so hard to make the magic happen." The company's network is expanding quickly, with a focus on pioneering and innovating by integrating technologies such as solar and battery storage. Additionally, InstaVolt continues to build strong, lasting partnerships that offer tangible value.
National Awards and Recognition
The company has also received national awards for its EV charging hub. In addition, InstaVolt has taken steps to combat cable theft at EV charging points by implementing GPS tracking. This initiative has helped restore ultra-rapid EV charging stations after incidents of cable thefts. Furthermore, an EV charging site became the first to benefit from a nationwide upgrade, highlighting the company's commitment to improving infrastructure.
Community Involvement
InstaVolt has also shown a commitment to the community by raising £1,000 to help train guide dogs for the blind. This demonstrates the company's broader impact beyond just the EV charging industry.
UK Fast Growth Awards
Businesses on the UK Fast Growth Index have also been entered into the UK Fast Growth Awards 2025, which were held in London on Wednesday, November 26. These awards celebrate the achievements of fast-growing companies across various sectors.
Economic Impact
Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE, founder of the UK Fast Growth Index, emphasized the importance of these fast-growing firms. He stated, "The UK Fast Growth Index demonstrates how a small number of fast-growing firms such as InstaVolt can make a substantial contribution to the UK’s economic landscape, providing real examples of how innovation, enterprise and sheer hard work can make a real difference in all sectors from construction to financial services to technology."
Growth Statistics
Last year, the 350 companies featured in the UK Fast Growth Index collectively increased their turnover by £9.6bn and created 24,000 new jobs over the two-year period. This highlights the significant role that these growing businesses play in driving economic growth and job creation across the UK.
Future Prospects
As InstaVolt continues to expand and innovate, it is clear that the company is well-positioned to contribute further to the UK's economy. With a focus on sustainability, technology, and community involvement, InstaVolt is setting a benchmark for other businesses in the EV charging industry and beyond. The company's success serves as an inspiration for entrepreneurs and business leaders looking to make a meaningful impact in their respective fields.
