The International Track 100 league table ranks Britain's private companies with the fastest-growing international sales over the last two years of companies' available accounts.

The inaugural Sunday Times HSBC International Track 100, which ranks private companies by foreign sales growth over their latest two financial years, reveals that British creativity, engineering and experience are still in demand all over the world. The International Track 100 table, compiled by the Oxford-based research and networking events company Fast Track, highlights privately owned firms that have succeeded abroad after tackling challenges ranging from currency fluctuations and language barriers to security risks.

On average, the 100 companies improved their international sales by 83% a year, from £768m ($1.33b AUD) to a combined total of £2.2 billion ($3.86b AUD) over their latest two years - an impressive performance during a time of global turmoil.

COINS is number 23 on the International Track 100 list, with international sales growth of 97.5%. COINS provides software to construction and service companies such as Laing O'Rourke, helping them to eliminate process inefficiencies to raise margins and improve service delivery. Growth markets for the firm are America and Australia, where recent acquisitions have boosted overseas turnover. The company also has offices in Hong Kong and Singapore serving clients in Asia. Led by chairman Larry Sullivan, overseas sales have grown 98% a year from £2.1m ($3.64m AUD) in 2007 to £8m ($13.83m AUD) in 2009.
