disguise recognised by Sunday Times BDO Profit Track 100
We are delighted to announce that we’ve been featured in the 22nd annual Sunday Times BDO Profit Track 100 as one of Britain’s private companies with the fastest growing profits over the last three years.
The Sunday Times BDO Profit Track 100 ranks Britain’s private companies with the fastest-growing operating profits. The league table has been produced for a 22nd year by Fast Track, the Oxford firm that researches Britain’s top-performing private companies. This year’s Covid-19 special edition has recognised the impressive past performance of the featured companies, their contribution to the economy as well as their responses to the pandemic, ranking disguise in 49th position of the league table.

2021 has been off to a successful start, as we’ve recently received backing from The Carlyle Group, one of the world’s largest and most diversified global investment firms with $246 billion of assets under management. With Unreal Engine developers at Epic Games also taking a minority share in our firm, we have been able to enter a new phase of our growth development, focusing on international expansion, continued innovation, and enhanced support and product offerings for our customers.
Earlier this year, disguise was also recognised as one of the Financial Times’ top 1000 fastest growing businesses for 2021 and additionally secured a spot in the 12th annual Sunday Times HSBC International Track 200, becoming the sole live event technology provider among Britain’s mid-market companies with the fastest-growing international sales. This year alone, we have received several industry recognitions, including a Tech Leadership award for Best Production Technology, and shortlists in two categories in the Inavation Awards, Best Event Technology and Best Research and Development in partnership with our CSP partner White Light.
