Matt Waller started his business, which designs and runs employee benefit schemes, in 2006. Since then, every project the company has been involved with has been delivered on time and on budget, and Waller insists the firm has never lost a client. Customers range from the AA to Arcadia, spanning 25 countries and employing more than 750,000 people. Benefex has won a barrage of industry awards, around 30% of new business comes through referrals, and last year’s £1.5m turnover looks set to treble this year.
2012 update: Providing services to over 500 customers in 40 countries, Benefex became the first recipient of finance from the Business Growth Fund in 2011, welcoming a £4.2m investment. Expecting a turnover of £10m in 2012, Benefex has used strategic partnerships to expand its services, most recently striking a deal with independent financial advice company Positive Solutions
