MCT Star September 2022: Eleven
What significance does the number 11 have with MCT? No, it’s not related to Stranger Things (which has its own Eleven significance, but this isn’t what the newsletter is about).
Eleven is the number of years that MCT has been honored to be chosen for the Inc 500 Fastest Growing Company award.
“MCT is delighted to be recognized, once again, as one of the most successful independent, small, and midsized businesses in America”, said Curtis Richins, President, and CEO of MCT. “It is our 11th time winning this prestigious award in nearly as many years, and all the credit should be attributed to our dedicated, intelligent, and caring team members who go above and beyond each day for our clients”
Not only have the companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 been highly competitive within their respective markets, but this year’s list also proved especially resilient and flexible given the unprecedented challenges these past few years. Among the 5,000 companies honored in 2022, the average median three-year growth rate was 230%, and the total revenue was $317.6 billion. Together, those companies added more than 1,179,282 jobs over the past three years.
