“Being a part of this elite group of fast-growth companies is a testament to the capabilities and work ethic of our Sterling team,” Sterling’s President Brad Moore said. “This is our third time on the Inc. 5000 in the last four years, which is an amazing accomplishment for a business of our size and further validates that we are providing great service and tremendous value to our customers.”
The 2015 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 490%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $205 billion, generating 647,000 jobs over the past three years.

"The story of this year’s Inc. 5000 is the story of great leadership. In an incredibly competitive business landscape, it takes something extraordinary to take your company to the top,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “You have to remember that the average company on the Inc. 5000 grew nearly six-fold since 2012. Business owners don’t achieve that kind of success by accident."
