DULLES, VA--(Marketwire - October 8, 2008) - Centuria Corporation, a leading provider of
professional and technical support services to the U.S. government, today
announced the receipt of four awards and commendations, including inclusion
within the Inc. 500, Deloitte & Touche LLP's 2008 Virginia Technology Fast
50 awards, Washington Technology's 2008 Fast 50 awards, and Federal Times'
2008 Top 100 Governmentwide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) vendors list. More
importantly, the company also announced that it has received an overall
performance rating of 95 by Dun & Bradstreet on its recent "Supplier
Performance Review" report.
"Centuria Corporation takes great pride in the work we do with our
government customers," said Kevin M. Burke, President and CEO of Centuria
Corporation. "Our government revenue has grown from $600,000 in 2006 to $6
million in 2007 to over $20 million this year. Maintaining such high
customer satisfaction ratings while our revenues continue to increase at
this significant rate is our single most important accomplishment -- it is
extremely difficult to balance growth against customer satisfaction. We
strive to be unique in the way we integrate our services within our
clients' programs, serving as a partner in decision making and ultimately
helping to save time and money."
Centuria Corporation ranked 18th on the annual Inc. 500 Government Services
Sector listing, which ranks the fastest growing private companies in the
nation. Inc. 500 examined companies' annual revenue growth from 2004 to
2007. Centuria Corporation ranked 191st overall with 1,277.9% growth over
this period.
Deloitte's Virginia Technology Fast 50 awards recognize the fastest growing
technology companies in Virginia. In 2008, Centuria Corporation was ranked
25th. Rankings are based on percentage of fiscal year revenue growth over
five years, from 2003-2007.
Washington Technology's Fast 50 recognizes the most successful small
businesses within the government market that have experienced significant
growth over the past five years. Centuria Corporation ranked 47th in the
list released earlier this week.
Federal Times' Top 100 GWAC contractors is a list of the top governmentwide
acquisition contract vendors from fiscal year 2007. Centuria Corporation
ranked 79th on the Federal Times list.
As part of its "Supplier Performance Review," Dun & Bradstreet surveyed
five of Centuria Corporation's largest customers. Centuria Corporation
received overwhelmingly positive feedback on all survey topics included in
the report with a high score of 97 out of 100 for "Ease of Use," which
measures how easy it is to work with Centuria Corporation's staff.
"Centuria Corporation has grown incredibly fast, yet we have maintained our
exceptional customer service during the expansion," said Burke. "It's our
job to anticipate the requirements of our government customers and ensure
we are providing the best service in the marketplace. We are fortunate to
have an incredibly talented staff that has the ability to secure the
government's confidence and deliver tangible results."
