“There has been a big shift to online post-Covid, and with Brits stuck at home for most of the last year, online deliveries have been one of the rare highlights of our stay at home life,” says Brightpearl CEO Derek O’Carroll.

“Our own data shows many multi-channel retailers reporting incredible growth rates - and we decided it was time to celebrate the nation's fastest e-commerce growers over the past 12 months.”

He adds: “The Lightning 50 only takes into account one metric when scoring businesses - growth. Our hope is that it will really shine a light on some of the incredible work online businesses have been doing throughout the pandemic.”
