Leading Christchurch design agency, Plato Design, has been named the fastest growing business in Canterbury and the upper South Island in the “services business” category of the Deloitte Fast 50 index, and placed at number 34 out of 50 fastest growing New Zealand companies.

John Plato, Managing Director, says, “The growth we have experienced is due to focusing on what we do and doing it well. The Deloitte award and placing, is testament to our team’s hard work, particularly following the earthquakes as many have been affected personally, and we have had to relocate our offices. Plato has continued to aim high while maintaining our high standards of service and delivery. Of course we also have our clients to thank for their loyal support”.

Plato Design has experienced revenue growth of just under 200% in the last three years and John Plato says regardless of the obstacles the team and a company may have faced in recent months, everyone has been determined to continue building long-term relationships with clients while delivering a professional product, on time and within budget.

“Being #1 in the “service” section of the Fast 50 for Canterbury and the Upper South Island region is recognition that businesses can maintain high standards of service and build client relationships while achieving substantial growth. Plato has done this as a result of always keeping the client at the forefront of what we do. Supporting our team combined with effective strategic business planning are also key,” he says. “This is a real boost for us and our staff, at what continues to be a challenging time.”
