25 years of the Fast 50

Celebrating epic Kiwi businesses for 25 years

A quarter century of growth

For 25 years, the Deloitte Fast 50 index has recognised the businesses powering Aotearoa’s growth. The awards, which champion businesses scaling at speed, have featured some of the country’s most recognisable brands.

To recognise this milestone and highlight some of the iconic Kiwi businesses that have been part of the programme since 2001, we've put together a Top 25 of 25 years index to showcase New Zealand’s fastest growing businesses of all time.

Check out the index here.

So, where could the Fast 50 take your business next?

We sat down with James White, Founder and CEO of Legend Story Studios, and Matt Lane, General Manager of Night ‘n Day, to find out what being part of the Fast 50 programme meant to them. Read the full story here.

Entries for the Deloitte Fast 50 2026 are open Monday 20 July to Friday 28 August. If your business is considering the programme, register your interest now and we’ll contact you when registrations open with full details.
