The Procurement Centre (now Resources SCM Practice) has been named one of America's entrepreneurial growth leaders by Inc magazine for its 2002 Inc 500 ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The ranking will appear in the magazine's special Inc 500 issue, which hits newsstands October 15. We were ranked 350 out of 500!!

"It is exciting and gratifying to be included in INC magazine's extremely prestigious ranking," said Tracy Stephens, CEO. "It shows the spectacular results that may be achieved through focus and teamwork."

To be eligible for this year's Inc 500, companies had to be independent and privately held through their fiscal year 2001, have at least $200,000 in sales in the base year 1997, and their 2001 sales had to have exceeded 2000 sales. Started in 1982, the Inc 500 ranks the nation's leading entrepreneurial firms according to sales growth over the previous five years.
