Company History
UKFast was founded in September 1999 by Lawrence Jones and his wife Gail. Jones formed the company after experiencing poor customer service when trying to host a domain with the market leader of that time. Jones identified that hosting companies were not focussed on speed and customer service and set about to build a new type of hosting business. 10 years on UKFast has won 7 ISPA's award in 6 consecutive years. The accolades include Best Hosting Provider, Best Dedicated Hosting Provider Award and Best Customer Service[1][2] The company has sponsorship deals with the Sale Sharks Rugby Club and Airwaves-Ducati.
UKFast has also been accredited with the Sunday Times "Best Companies To Work For Award" in 2009 and are presently the only hosting company in the UK to hold the 3 star badge.
UKFast won the 2008 MEN (Manchester Evening News) Business of the year (£10m category) whilst the managing director Lawrence Jones won Young Director of the Year 2007.
