Headcount: 50 (+100%)

Founded in 2005 by old university friends James Stelfox and Robert Rutherford, Quostar styles itself as a full-service IT provider for midmarket businesses.
Its average monthly headcount doubled from 25 to 50 between its fiscal 2020 and 2023, with the lion’s share of the growth coming in the latest period.
The Hampshire-based outfit appointed a Commercial Director, CTO and Cloud Services Director in September 2022. “Our firm has always been seen as a smaller, heavy-hitting consultancy, but the time is now right for us to expand our team,” Rutherford said at the time.
