Each year, The Los Angeles Business Journal (LABJ) releases its list of the Top 100 Fastest-Growing Private Companies. This prestigious ranking represents the best and the brightest private companies that are exhibiting the highest revenue growth in the Los Angeles area annually. This year, for the 6th straight year, Partner was honored to make the list, ranking at #75, up from #78 the previous year. Partner is widely recognized as the top provider of Phase I Environmental Site Assessments in the commercial real estate industry.
“With so many fast-growing companies in Los Angeles, it’s quite an honor to be on this list again. The credit goes to the hard work of our team and the loyalty of our clients. We are truly grateful,” said Partner’s Chief Executive Officer, Joe Derhake.
The rankings were announced at an awards ceremony on November 2, 2016, with Partner personnel in attendance to accept the honor. The full published list will be available in the November 7th Los Angeles Business Journal issue. A copy of the issue can be found here.
