Business Communications, Inc., (BCI) has recently been named among Mississippi’s 40 Fastest Growing Companies by the Mississippi Business Journal. The ‘Fast 40’ Program, according to the Mississippi Business Journal, honors the state’s most dynamic privately-owned businesses for their contributions to the growth and success of the community.
Ron Jones, Publications Director/General Manager of the Mississippi Business Journal explains, “These are companies that aren’t just growing, they are literally bursting at the seams, and are models for other privately-held businesses in our state. They are the best of the best.”
To be eligible for the ‘Fast 40’ Program, companies must be independent and privately held, have had revenues of at least $1 million in 2006, have three complete years of operations, and have their home office/principal place of business in Mississippi. Qualifying companies are then ranked based on revenue growth over a three-year period, with all revenue figures subject to verification by the accounting firm of KPMG, LLP, and the law firm of Watkins Ludlam Winter & Stennis, PA.
“It’s an honor for Business Communications, Inc., to be named as a finalist in one of the state’s most prestigious recognition programs for business,” said Tony Bailey, CEO. “This award is a tribute to all of our BCI employees who’ve worked so hard to deliver the success that makes us eligible to be chosen. We are proud of our people, who are always striving to learn and grow. As a company—and as individuals—we believe in innovation, and our clients have come to expect that from us. When you hire good people, train them, empower them and support them, what you get in return is outstanding.”
“BCI has grown by 30% in revenue annually since 2003,” noted Tom Hinds, Vice President, “and we attribute much of that to our employment philosophy: ‘There’s more to life than work.’ That six-word sentence sums up our company’s belief that a healthier balance between a person’s professional and personal life is the true cornerstone of both intellectual and emotional growth and success.”
