We secure place in CRN Fast50 for a record 9th time, also taking home a 5th All Star award - blueAPACHE

November 25, 2019

We were named one of the fastest-growing IT companies in the Australian IT channel, coming in at #41 in the 2019 Fast50

On Thursday 19th November 2019, Founder and Managing Director, Chris Marshall, with General Manager of Commercial, James Hendry, accepted two awards at the CRN Australia Fast50 Awards Gala on behalf of blueAPACHE. This year marks our 9th appearance in the CRN Fast50, cementing our position as the most awarded company in the awards 11-year history.

The CRN Fast50 recognises the fastest-growing companies in the Australian IT channel, based on year-on-year revenue growth. After an entry and judging process running from August to November, the top 50 companies were named at Thursday’s major awards ceremony in Sydney.

In addition to the Fast50 award with 33% year-on-year revenue growth, we also took home our 5th All Star award.

The CRN Fast50 All Star is an award for IT providers that achieve exceptional growth over five years. We received the inaugural ALL STAR in 2014, and have since celebrated the accolade in 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019 – becoming the only organisation in Australia to be awarded the All Star award five times.

Speaking at the awards gala, Chris Marshall, Founder and Managing Director said “These awards are a reflection of the hard work and dedication of #teamblue and an incredible achievement. I’d like to congratulate the entire team, what a tremendous year 2019 has been!”
