Annex bucks trend by sustaining growth for seven years

Vancouver, BC, September 16, 2010 – For the seventh consecutive year, Annex Consulting Group has been recognized as one of British Columbia’s fastest growing companies by Business In Vancouver’s annual ranking of the Top 100 Fastest Growing Companies in BC.  This award comes on the heels of Annex’s recognition as one of Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies by PROFIT Magazine for the fourth consecutive year.

Business in Vancouver tracks and ranks fast growing companies each year and reports their stories in a special section included in this year’s September 14th issue of the magazine. In order to qualify, companies must demonstrate solid and signi­ficant revenue growth over the past 5 years.

This seventh time distinction sets Annex apart from its competitors in the eyes of its employees, suppliers, customers and business partners.  It is the culmination of yet another year of dedicated hard work and superior customer relationship management in an economic climate that was less than ideal.

Stacey Cerniuk, President and CEO, Annex Consulting Group, “According to Business In Vancouver, the Fastest Growing list is very dynamic and most companies on the list do not make the list the following year.  We are very proud of the fact that Annex has made BIV’s Fastest Growing list for seven consecutive years.  We have sustained revenue growth for so many years  due to the loyalty of our customers and dedication of our hardworking contractors and staff.  The economic climate over the last 24 months has been challenging, making this award that much more satisfying.”

Year over year, Annex has been able to boast a 97% customer satisfaction rating – unparalleled in the industry. This also accounts for the fact that a majority of Annex business is the result of referrals and renewals of contracts. In addition, Annex has been able to deliver quality services at competitive price levels that are unmatched by larger systems integrators competing in the Vancouver and Victoria marketplaces. This demonstrates the essence of the Annex Value Proposition: Annex plays a niche role in the IT services marketplace by providing many of the benefits of multinational consulting firms (best practices, proven methodologies, centralized project management, etc.) but at a much lower cost.
