Mead & Hunt makes Top Performer list
Growth, profitability, and innovation propelled these firms to peak performances, even in an unstable market
But at a time when the definition of performance is evolving as a result of the ongoing economic crisis, CE News chose to spotlight firms that have maintained, or even improved, their financial performance during these trying times. Some of these notable firms are the nation’s top revenue–producing companies — large, multidiscipline civil engineering service providers — while others are small firms, carving out a healthy business by providing a niche service.
“The definition of performance changes from firm to firm or individual to individual,” observed Rajan Sheth, president, CEO, and chairman of Mead & Hunt, Inc., Madison, Wis., who added that despite the global financial meltdown, a confluence of factors can lead to a firm’s general stability or success. “There will be firms that are able to grow because of their market mix, strategies, or blind luck.” That fusion is evident in a recent Mead & Hunt project: the restoration of Lake Delton, a popular tourist lake in the Wisconsin Dells that emptied to the basin after severe flooding caused a break in a highway dike wall.
