Newbury, 12th October 2009 – 2e2, a leading provider of mission-critical IT services, today announced that it has been featured as number 175 in this year’s Sunday Times HSBC Top Track 250 league table of Britain’s biggest mid-market private companies.

It complements the Top Track 100 league table of Britain’s biggest private companies and lists the next 101 to 350 biggest firms. 2e2’s ongoing listing has been a result of its continued success in 2008, with sales reaching £204.9 million.
