Burwood Group Ranked Among Chicago's 50 Fastest Growing Companies

Chicago, June 1st, 2009 – Crain’s Chicago Business has ranked Burwood Group as the 38th fastest growing company in Chicago in this year’s Fast Fifty List. This is the second consecutive year Burwood has achieved this honor.

Companies selected for the fast fifty have a 2008 revenue of at least $20 million, revenue growth in the last year, and no more than one year of declining revenue in the 2003-2008 period. Burwood Group exceeds these requirements with its 2008 revenue of $42.2 million and a five-year growth of 264%. Burwood’s revenue has grown every year since its founding in 1997.

“Slow and steady wins the race,” says Burwood President Mark Theoharous. “We have remained stable by focusing on our commitment to be a trusted advisor and partner to every one of our clients. Few companies have escaped the effects of these challenging economic times, and Burwood is no different. Today we and our clients are looking for ways to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Being recognized as one of the fast fifty during these times is an accomplishment we are very proud of.”

Burwood Group continues to grow not only in revenue, but size as well. Next month the company’s Chicago headquarters will move to a new office at 125 South Wacker Drive, marking the third expansion in Burwood’s history.
