May 15, 2006

Entrepreneur magazine has released the 12th Annual Hot 100 Listing of the fastest-growing new companies in the United States. The listing is comprised from an initial list of fast-growing companies from PricewaterhouseCoopers. Compass Energy Services, Inc. is proud to be rated as third on the list of fastest-growing companies in America for the second year in a row.

“It is extremely rewarding to receive this award and to be included among such innovative and successful companies for the second year in a row. If we have enjoyed quick success, it is due to our business model, our customer support and the dedication and expertise of our amazing team of owners and experienced employees”, stated Christopher Zeigler, president of Compass Energy Services, Inc.

Total combined sales of the Hot 100 companies for 2006 reached an impressive $1.7 billion, up from $1.5 billion last year. This year, the business services industry took the lead with 33 companies on our list, including staffing, advertising and consulting firms. Also on the rise are employee benefits; 43 businesses offer flextime, and 33 offer telecommuting. Keeping employees happy and satisfied tops the list of main concerns for Hot 100 business owners, based on the popular philosophy that “fast growth for many businesses is largely due to having the best staff on hand to manage it all.”
