MILWAUKEE, Aug. 17, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For the sixth consecutive year, Quest CE, premier provider of insurance continuing education and FINRA Firm Element training, has been named to the Inc. 500|5000 list, an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest growing privately-held companies. This year, Quest CE ranked No. 43 among Wisconsin companies and 4378 overall, with a three year revenue growth of 61%.
The Inc. 5000 list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent entrepreneurs. Companies such as Yelp, Pandora, Dell, LinkedIn, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 500|5000. The 2015 list added such powerhouses as Fitbit, Planet Fitness, Radio Flyer and Mindbody.
“It’s an incredible honor to be named to the Inc. 500|5000 list for a sixth consecutive year,” said Quest CE President and CEO Linda Mieth Krenke. “As an entrepreneur and business owner, there is no better feeling then watching your company, clients, and talent continually and collectively grow and flourish. Our efforts to build this amazing business are paying off and our ongoing inclusion on the Inc. list is confirmation that we are on the right path.”
The 2015 Inc. 5000 is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 490%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $205 billion, generating 647,000 jobs over the past three years. 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/inc5000.
"The story of this year’s Inc. 5000 is the story of great leadership. In an incredibly competitive business landscape, it takes something extraordinary to take your company to the top,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “You have to remember that the average company on the Inc. 5000 grew nearly six-fold since 2012. Business owners don’t achieve that kind of success by accident."
The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring all the companies on the list will be held from October 21 through 23, 2015 in Orlando. Speakers include some of the greatest entrepreneurs of this and past generations, such as Marcus Lemonis, host of the CNBC show “The Profit,” Robert Herjavec, one of the main "sharks" on ABC-TV’s “Shark Tank,” KIND Founder and CEO Daniel Lubetzky, and Co-Founder of Goodshop.com JJ Ramberg.
