Lovey ranks #1 Fintech on the FT's UK's Fastest-Growing Companies 2027 list

#1 Fastest-growing fintech in the financial services sector
We're proud to share that Lovey has been named in the first-ever UK's Fastest-Growing Companies list, compiled by the Financial Times and Statista. Out of just 150 companies featured, we ranked 20th overall and were the highest-ranked company in the fintech, financial services & insurance category.

‍

20th fastest-growing company in the UK overall 

The list celebrates UK businesses that grew their revenue fastest between 2022 and 2025. That's a period marked by high energy costs, global uncertainty and political change at home. Being recognised in the list's very first year, alongside some of the UK's most ambitious businesses, is a real milestone for the whole Lovey team. 

‍

How the list was decided

The FT put the ranking together with research company Statista, and companies are ranked on one thing: verified revenue growth. Statista screened more than 8,000 UK businesses, and to make the list a company had to:

  • be headquartered in the UK
  • have made at least £100,000 in revenue in 2022 and at least £1.5 million in 2025
  • have grown organically on its own, rather than by buying other businesses
  • be independent, not a subsidiary or branch of another company

‍

Every company's revenue figures had to be signed off by its CEO, CFO or a board member, and Statista checked all the data. The final 150 were the businesses with the highest average yearly growth over those three years.
