A great day for the parish.

Maximum Media, Ireland’s number one digital publishing company and the home of JOE, HerSportsJOE and HerFamily has been named as one of the fastest growing websites in Europe.

Maximum Media ranked at number 250 in a report by the Financial Times on the 1,000 fastest growing companies in Europe, which highlighted the innovative and fast-growing companies that are the driving force of the European economy in the 21st century, by generating jobs and sustaining Europe’s competitiveness.

The list compiled by the Financial Times reflected the 1,000 companies in Europe that had achieved the highest growth in revenues between 2012 and 2015, with Maximum Media’s revenues jumping by a whopping 489pc in that time.

Maximum Media Founder, Niall McGarry, commented this morning:

“I’m incredibly proud to see the business being recognised as one of the fastest growing across the European Union. We’ve won countless awards and accolades over the years which I am very proud of, but this kind of objective recognition for success is as official as you can get.

“To be listed alongside the most remarkable, innovative businesses in Europe gives me the ultimate sense of achievement.

“I started this business at a time of huge economic uncertainty, and over the past seven years, it has consistently gone from strength to strength, and I am confident that our trajectory is only going to increase in the years to come. For both Maximum Media and JOE Media in the UK, I aim to see both businesses climbing the ranks on this list in the future.

“Our ambition is simply to become the largest and most influential media organisation in Ireland by 2022, and today I have never been more confident that this is achievable”. 

Maximum Media was the second highest-ranked of nine Irish companies on the list and the only one not in the health, technology or support services industry.

Cloud computing company Asavie ranked in 115th place, while Fenergo (258), Agile Networks (389), Galway Natural Health Sales (414), AspiraCon (488), Synergy Security Solutions (855), Crème Global (860) and Lotus Automation (936) were also featured.
