EBJ Business Achiever of the Week: Mabbett & Associates

   A hearty three cheers this week for Mabbett & Associates, Inc. (Bedford, MA), winner of a 2011 silver medal in the small-firm category (less than $20 million in revenue) for achieving 62% growth in gross revenue during 2011 to nearly $8.5 million, 315% revenue growth over the past five years, and, through that five-year period, growth in the number of veterans employed by the firm from less than 7.5% to almost 40% of its professional technical staff. Mabbett & Associates is a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, verified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business that has provided integrated multi-disciplinary environmental, health, and safety, and sustainable energy consulting and engineering services for over 30 years. According to Mabbett, the growth over the past five years is sustainable based in part on several factors: the continued implementation of a multi-faceted marketing and business development program; the award of multi-year major contracts from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the General Services Administration (GSA), the Army Corps of Engineers, and other federal clients; extension of its service reach through continued geographic expansion; enhanced proven relationships; and the initial development and continued strengthening of an excellent performance record with federal agencies, private clients, and project partners. Some existing clients have worked with Mabbett since the firm’s inception in 1980.   For a full list of EBJ’s 2011 Business Achievement Award winners, please visit www.ebiresearch.com/2011_EBI_Business_Achievement_Awards.
