Milgro has been named FD Gazelle 2017 by Het Financiële Dagblad (FD), making it one of the fastest growing companies in the Netherlands. Milgro will receive the award on November 14 during the FD Gazellen prize-giving ceremony for the West Netherlands region in Leiden.
The FD Gazellen Awards are an annual prize for the fastest growing companies in the Netherlands. To be eligible for an award, companies must, among other things, show a turnover growth of at least 20% over a period of three years and they must be financially healthy.
During the award ceremonies in the regions, gold, silver and bronze FD Gazelles can be won for the fastest growers. Milgro is competing for this in the category 'turnover class large', with the most important criterion being a turnover of more than € 10 million in the first year of the three-year reference period. At the FD Gazelle Final in December 2017, the national prizes will be awarded, as well as prizes for up-and-coming and internationally operating talent and the fastest grower of 2017.
“We are proud to receive this prestigious entrepreneurial award in the year in which Milgro celebrates its 25th anniversary. A nice confirmation that more and more leading companies are opting for our next level approach to waste and raw materials management. But in the end it is mainly a compliment to our fantastic team of employees. Partly because of their drive, commitment and craftsmanship, our growth strategy is a success
