Florence, SC — Nov 05, 2013 / (http://www.myprgenie.com) — HillSouth iT Solutions, the industry’s leading IT consulting company, today announced that it has earned two more awards this month: a spot on the 2013 Ro aring Twenties list, which recognizes the fastest growing companies in South Carolina, and a place on the Empact 100, which showcases the best companies established by young entrepreneurs.
These latest two awards bring the total number of honors for HillSouth up to five in less than a month and a half. The other awards include the Fast Growth 150, the Inc. 500|5000 list for the second consecutive year in a row, and the CRN Next-Gen 250 List.
“We’ve been honored this past month and a half to have our continued commitment to growth and excellence in IT consulting recognized by so many prestigious organizations,” said Skyler Ferran Chief Operations Officer of HillSouth. “These latest honors from SC Biz News and Empact highlight our continuing commitment to innovation, new and sophisticated service models, and customer care that has helped us grow.”
Robby Hill, HillSouth founder and CEO, said, “To be recognized for doing work that I enjoy, and to be ranked number 12 not only by SC Biz News but positioned in the Top 100 companies run by young entrepreneurs, are recognitions that I will not soon forget.” He continued, “I have to thank the entire team at HillSouth for excelling every day and meeting the challenges of a growing enterprise, plus the many supporters and mentors who have helped me during this journey.”
The Empact Showcase is a compilation companies in the United States started by entrepreneurs who are age 35 and under, and whose annual revenues or operating budgets (for non-profits) are more than $100,000. In 2012, the companies comprising the Empact Showcase contributed more than 8,500 jobs to the economy, and controlled over $1.3 billion in revenue.
Founders in the Empact Showcase were recognized for their achievements at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City in October.
“The entrepreneurial journey is sometimes lonely, and it is a pleasure to see so many great companies to share in this unique honor,” Hill said. “I hope it will draw attention to the impact that young entrepreneurs can have on this nation and the world.”
