Disruptive drinks innovator Atom Group joins Fast Track 100!

The ‘Directors’

The Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100

Atom Group, which comprises online retailer Master of Malt, spirits producer Atom Brands, and craft spirits distributor Maverick Drinks, has earned a place in the The Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100.

The league table, published on 3 December, definitively ranks Britain’s 100 private companies with the fastest-growing sales over the last three years.

Atom Group was placed 99th in the league table, with sales growing at a compound annual rate of over 46% during the three years to September 2017.

Atom Group is a multi-award-winning drinks and technology group on a mission to disrupt the drinks industry in three different ways:
Master of Malt is re-imagining online drinks retail from the ground up, using cutting edge technology and fanatical customer service to help people explore the world of fine spirits.

Atom Brands is creating a stable of internationally-acclaimed drinks brands unparalleled in their innovativeness and utterly uncompromising in their approach to the quality of the liquid.

Maverick Drinks is assembling the most interesting portfolio of craft brands in the industry, and challenging the ‘pay-to-play’ status quo with their open, no-nonsense approach to doing business.

In everything Atom Group does it is a disruptive innovator; it is baked into its DNA to challenge orthodoxy and received wisdom.

To be recognised as one of the UK’s fastest growing companies is an astonishing achievement for everyone who has worked so hard to help make what once seemed like a crazy dream into reality.

A few years ago we were just a bunch of friends working out of a 380 sq ft shed on a farm in the middle of nowhere. Things have changed a bit since then.

I still can’t quite believe how far the business has come – I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built together, and very excited about the future.
– Justin Petszaft: Atom Group founder and managing director

Entrepreneurs are the lifeblood of the economy; driving innovation, creating jobs and challenging industry norms. The achievements of the companies on this year’s Fast Track 100 list are fantastic.

It’s clear over the coming years UK business will have to adapt to different conditions and we must do all we can to support our entrepreneurs – who will be the engines of growth for Britain.
– Sir Richard Branson

The last few years have been remarkable ones for Atom Group as its work has been recognised with a string of awards, including:
