Mark Vletter, Founder at Voys
Voys is a cloud-based telephone service. Founded in Groningen over 14 years ago, the company has won awards as the fastest-growing Dutch company for 10 years in a row.
"The combination of working, housing and a healthy life is very well balanced. We have many international colleagues who end up living here and consciously choosing Groningen, because it's such a great place."
In October 2021, the Dutch financial newspaper Het Financieele Dagblad just announced that the Groningen-based telecom provider is once again among the fastest-growing companies in the Netherlands. This also makes Voys the first organisation in the Northern Netherlands to win the FD Gazelle award a whopping 10 years in a row.
This is the 18th year that Het Financieele Dagblad is handing out the FD Gazellen: the awards for the fastest growing companies in the Netherlands. Voys belongs to the medium-sized category of companies awarded this honor. One of the criteria to become a FD Gazelle is at least 20% revenue growth over the last three years, which of course is no longer an easy feat with the Covid pandemic still going strong.

In the run-up to the awards, Mark Vletter, founder of Voys, was a guest in the FD Gazellen Podcast as FD Gazelle of the week. In the episode 'The growth potential of the Northern Netherlands', he explains why Groningen is a great place to be as an entrepreneur: "The combination of working, housing and a healthy life is very well balanced. We have many international colleagues who end up living here and consciously choosing Groningen, because it's such a great place."
