It has been an exciting journey for all of us, to have grown from 4 to 110 people within the past 10 years. Our turnover has also grown from 4 to 235 million SEK over the same period. This has only been possible through tremendous effort of our employees', says AuidoDev's MD, Jan Barchan. The Growth List has been published by Ahrens Rapid Growth and Svenska Dagbladet since 1993. Ahren's definition of a "growth company" is a company, which, over the past five years, has had an average growth of 25%, a minimum of 50 employees and a turnover of at least 50 million SEK per year.
