The list is the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy – America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs. Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy.
“Our second annual Inc. 5000 continues the most ambitious project in business journalism,” said Inc. 5000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. “The Inc. 5000 gives an unrivalled portrait of young, underreported companies across all industries doing fascinating things with cutting-edge business models, as well as older companies that are still showing impressive growth.”
FMA, a Knoxville based firm, was founded in 2003 by Billy Fulghum, P.E. and Mike MacIndoe, P.E. as they set out to create a civil and environmental engineering company that provided more than just the average services. Now over five years later, FMA has established valuable relationships with its clients by demonstrating accountability and responsibility for both deadlines and budgets, and have built an employee culture that shares the same commitments to unmatched customer service.
“I think it is our client-centered approach to business, multi-disciplinary experience, and our professional relationship with individuals, communities, and state agencies throughout the Southeast that has given our young company such rapid success,” says Billy Fulghum, FMA co-owner.
The 5000 companies that made the list reported aggregate revenue of $185 billion and median three-year growth of 147 percent. Most important, the 2008 Inc. 5000 companies were engines of job growth, having created more than 826,033 jobs since those companies were founded.
