This prestigious award honors small and medium-sized growth companies that have achieved impressive results in the Norwegian business community, highlighting the country's most successful companies. Since its inception in 2018, BUHR has transformed the HR landscape, and with solid growth under its belt, it is clear that their unique concept and approach resonate well with clients across industries.
Bjørg Ueland, founder and CEO of BUHR
– We are extremely proud to be recognized as a Gazelle company for the third year in a row. This distinction is a direct result of the work of our talented team and our continuous focus on providing innovative and flexible HR services that truly meet our customers' needs, says Bjørg Ueland, current CEO of BUHR.
In 2023, BUHR had a turnover of over 40 million kroner and an operating profit of 5.6 million kroner. Since 2020, the company has had an impressive growth of 501.79 % over the past three years. This gives it the status of a Gazelle company. Dagens Næringsliv has named Gazelle companies since 2003, and the criteria are that the company must have doubled its turnover over four years, have a turnover of one million kroner in the first year, have a positive overall operating profit and have avoided falling turnover.
