Aldelia has been recognised for the second consecutive year in the prestigious Africa’s Fastest Growing Companies 2026 ranking published by the Financial Times in partnership with Statista.

Following a rigorous data collection and independent verification process, Aldelia was ranked:

    • #1 in the Employment Services category
    • #34 overall across all sectors in Africa

The ranking highlights Aldelia’s sustained growth, operational resilience, and ability to deliver compliant, high-quality workforce solutions across complex and fast-growing markets.

Widely regarded as one of the continent’s most credible growth benchmarks, the Financial Times ranking recognises companies demonstrating exceptional revenue growth, scalability, and long-term business performance.

“Two consecutive years of recognition by the Financial Times and Statista. This is a milestone we are proud to share with every person who makes Aldelia what it is.” said Cédric Filet, Founder & CEO of Aldelia. “This distinction reflects the commitment of our teams across Africa and beyond, as well as our long-term conviction that Africa is not the market of tomorrow anymore, it is the market of today. For over 20 years, our commitment to local presence, compliance, and operational excellence has made Aldelia the partner of choice for international companies expanding across Africa.”

Founded in London in 2005, Aldelia has progressively built one of the largest independent HR and workforce solutions platforms operating across Africa. Today, the Group operates in more than 30 countries across Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America, supporting multinational companies, industrial groups, and fast-growing businesses with:
