Chapman Freeborn Listed In Sunday Times Top Track 250
Of Largest UK Privately Owned Companies

25th October 2005

Chairman Chris Chapman and Managing Director Carol Norman  were delighted to attend a dinner earlier this month at the Carlton Tower Hotel, hosted by The Sunday Times Newspaper / Fast Track / HSBC / KPMG to celebrate CF Group’s inauguration into the Fast Track 250 list.

The Fast Track 250 Lists the mid-market companies in the UK who are privately owned, selected on sales turnover. Chapman Freeborn Group has made it into the list for the first time at no 79.  This is a considerable accolade as fellow list members include such names as Telegraph Group, Dyson, FlyBe, Pizza Express, Sigma, Manchester United FC and many other well known names in all sectors of industry and commerce.

Carol commented: “we are proud to have made it onto this list for the first time. I think it reflects how hard we have worked across all aspects of our business this year with a significant increase in both passenger and cargo charters as well as with our Station Management and Operations Divisions. I am sure that our strategy of continuing to expand in new markets will see us climb the list even higher next year!”
