Telovations Included in Florida Companies to Watch Honors
Tampa, Fla. (August 29, 2012) – While the economic recovery is slow, there are many bright spots in Tampa Bay. Telovations, along with two other Tampa companies, Bayshore Solutions and ReliaQuest, are recognized by
The Florida Economic Gardening Institute (GrowFL) at the University of Central Florida as
Florida Companies to Watch. As announced by GrowFL, “Created by the Edward Lowe Foundation, Companies to Watch is an exclusive program that honors second-stage growth companies. Fifty second-stage companies from across the state of Florida were selected as ‘Companies to Watch’ for their impressive employment rates and revenue growth. Award winners were also selected for their entrepreneurial leadership, product innovation, social/community responsibility and competitive business practices.” In total, nine of the 50 Florida Companies to Watch are from the greater Tampa Bay area. More than 425 companies were nominated for the award, with 140 moving to the final rounds before the 50 honorees were named. Telovations is honored to be among the best of Tampa Bay and local businesses that are successful and growing. According to GrowFL, “The combined impact of the 50 companies selected to this year’s Florida Companies to Watch is immense. In 2011 alone, the companies generated $355 million in total annual revenue, and held 1,576 full-time equivalent employees. The companies collectively created 350 net new jobs compared to the previous year. Between 2008 and the end of this year, these companies will generate $1.4 billion in revenue and add 1,297 employees (both in Florida and out of state), reflecting a 204 percent increase in revenue and 151 percent increase in jobs for the five-year period. In 2012 alone, that translates to a 35 percent annual revenue growth and 37 percent annual growth in employees.”
