WHICH private enterprises are the rising stars of West Australian business?

Next week’s WA Business News will feature a special report profiling 10 of the State’s fastest growing private enterprises.

WA Business News and Deloitte Growth Solutions have jointly prepared the Rising Stars Index.

The 10 Rising Stars illustrate the diversity of the WA economy.

They are from industries as varied as printing, environmental consulting, advertising, technology, management consulting and financial services.

The report will provide insights into the growth strategies employed by these fast-growing organisations.

This will include insights into their future growth prospects, key growth drivers, human resource practices, use of technology and strategic partnerships.

The selection of the 10 Rising Stars was based on growth in three key business indicators – net profit before interest and tax, gross turnover and full time employment.

Deloitte ranked all entrants in the survey. Entrants had to pass strict performance hurdles, with turnover growth of at least 25 per cent over the past three years and minimum turnover of $4 million.
