19th September 2012 – London; UK: Mimecast®, the leading supplier of cloud-based email archiving, security and continuity for Microsoft Exchange and Office 365, has been ranked in the prestigious Sunday Times Tech Track 100 for the third consecutive year. Mimecast, which grew at an average of 65.76 percent over the last three years, was placed 45th, reflecting the company’s solid international expansion and impressive track record of sustained growth.

The Tech Track 100, now in its 12th year, ranks the UK’s privately-owned technology, media and telecoms (TMT) companies in a league table.

“As a business we have always grown very rapidly and, having been included in the Tech Track 100 since 2010, it is great to have completed the hat-trick with our third consecutive appearance,” commented Peter Bauer, CEO and co-founder of Mimecast. “This is a testament to the hard work and expertise of the whole Mimecast team and our fast growing community of partners. Over the last 18 months, Mimecast’s user base has almost doubled through continuing engagement with our partners. In a rapidly consolidating market, we have kept our focus on delivering excellent customer service and this has been crucial to our success. Of course, we remain ambitious and, with businesses’ need for innovative email services greater than ever, this promises to be a very exciting year for the business. We see huge potential for growth in each of our key markets in Europe, South Africa and particularly the USA, and we will be continuing to invest in our partners and our technology to help us build on this fantastic achievement.”
