Cotter Selected for Inc. 5000 list for Second Year in a Row
Cotter Consulting was selected for the second year in a row by Inc. magazine to be included in its fifth annual Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy-America's independent-minded entrepreneurs. Cotter joins online retailer ideeli, Spirit Airlines, television maker Vizio, Honest Tea and Dunkin Donuts, among other prominent brands featured on this year's list.
Cotter's impressive revenue and employee growth over the past three years merited a spot on the 5000 list as well as a ranking in the top 200 of those selected in the construction industry. Cotter is proud to be included in this list that celebrates growth and perseverance in a troubling economic climate.
"Now, more than ever, we depend on Inc. 500/5000 companies to spur innovation, provide jobs, and drive the economy forward. Growth companies, not large corporations, are where the action is,” says Inc. magazine Editor Jane Berentson
Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/5000.
