The Housing Network climbs nearly 600 places in FT1000 fastest-growing companies ranking

The Housing Network has been named one of Europe’s fastest-growing businesses after rising from 797th to 200th place in the Financial Times FT1000: Europe’s Fastest-Growing Companies 2026 ranking.

The annual list, compiled by the Financial Times in partnership with Statista, recognises the top 1,000 companies across Europe based on revenue growth over three years.

The Housing Network’s rise reflects growth from €10.8m in 2021 to €62.6m in 2024.

Headquartered in Luton, the organisation has expanded in response to rising demand for specialist housing, particularly for people experiencing homelessness, prison leavers and those with complex needs.

Its workforce also grew significantly over the period, increasing from 101 to 249 employees.

The latest ranking builds on previous recognition, with The Housing Network also named the 41st fastest-growing company in the UK in 2025 by the UK Fast Growth Index.

Gary Teper, managing director at The Housing Network, said: “While we are incredibly proud of this growth and of the dedication shown by our teams, we are also very conscious of what it represents. Our expansion reflects the increasing level of need and trauma being experienced across communities up and down the country.

“Being recognised in rankings like this is not just about commercial performance, it highlights the responsibility we carry to deliver high-quality, accountable services in some of the most complex and highly scrutinised parts of the public sector.”
