Wonga named Fastest Growing Business in Europe
May 13th, 2010Hot on the heels of our recent double-win at the UK Fast Growth Business Awards and our People’s Voice win in the international Webbys, Wonga came out on top at last night’s glitzy GP Bullhound Media Momentum Awards.
The influential business awards, presented at Sketch in London, are based on things like vision, innovation and operational performance and they compile an annual list of the top 50 rising stars of the digital world.
Wonga claimed the number one spot – named Fastest Growing Business – in the first year we were eligible for the full list. The awards are organised by specialist media and technology investment bank, GP Bullhound, and previous winners have included Seatwave, Net-a-Porter.com and Betfair.
The impressive judging panel is made up of entrepreneurs, editors, investors and senior management from the likes of Google. The judges were impressed with Wonga’s rapid growth and also praised us for our “commitment to responsible lending.”

Tonight we head to the UK Credit Awards, where we’re shortlisted in four categories, including Responsible Lender of the Year and the Corporate Social Responsibility Award. Fingers crossed…
